Club history
Founded in 1880,[1] the club won five titles in the Somerset Senior League before joining the Western Football League in 1911. Street left the Western League in 1922, but rejoined in 1931. The 1930s marked a successful period in the club's history, with the club twice finishing runners up in the Western League Second Division, as well as reaching the first round of the FA Cup in 1938.[1]
Upon the resumption of league football following World War II, Street achieved a second-placed finish in the Western League First Division in 1952–53. This marked their highest ever position in the English football league system. However, two relegations in six seasons resulted in Street rejoining the Somerset League in 1960. Winning the title in 1996 enabled the team to return to the Western League, and promotion to the Premier Division followed in 2006.[1]
