History

The club was founded in 1948 by ex-members of Christchurch Hengrove Boys Club playing at school pitches until moving to their current base at Norton Lane in 1964.^[1]

The club played in the Bristol & Suburban League before the first team progressed to the Somerset County League in 1974. In the 2005–06 season, they were the Somerset County League Premier Division champions and successfully applied for promotion to Western League Division One for the 2006–07 season, finishing 10th and 6th in their first two seasons at the higher level.^[2]

Their reserves play in the Somerset County League and their third team plays in the Bristol & Suburban League.

During the 1980s, the club played in the FA Vase for seven seasons, with their best run coming in 1984–85 when they made the Second Round (last 128).^[2]

The 2012–13 season saw the club gain promotion to the Premier division of the Western league when they finished as runners up behind Sherborne Town in Division One.^[3] They were relegated back to Division One at the end of the 2013-14 season, after finishing bottom of the Premier Division.
