History

The club were founded in 2003 as a Sunday league side. After adding three adult teams and youth teams down to under-10s, the club moved into the English football league system when they joined the Romford and District League in 2008. After winning the senior division in 2010,[1] they progressed to the Essex and Suffolk Border Football League, where they finished third in the Premier Division in 2012.[2] They then moved to the Essex Olympian Football League Division One and were promoted to the Premier Division after finishing third in 2013. After three seasons, they finished bottom in 2016 and were relegated back to Division One.[3] The club applied to join the new Division One South of the Eastern Counties League for the 2018–19 season, and despite finishing eighth in the EOL Division One in 2017–18, their application was successful.

The club entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2015.[4]
