History

The club was established in 1996 by a merger of Longridge St Wilfred's and Longridge United.[2] They started in the Preston & District League and were Division Three champions in 2003–04. Subsequent promotions saw the club reach the Premier Division, and a third-place finish in 2007–08 led to them joining Division Two of the West Lancashire League in 2008.[2][3] They finished as runners-up in their first season in the division, earning promotion to Division One.[3] The 2011–12 season saw the club win the Division One title, resulting in promotion to the Premier Division.[3] In 2016–17 they were Premier Division champions. Following a third-place finish the following season, the club moved up to Division One North of the North West Counties League.
