History

The club was established in 2006, and joined Division Two of the Essex & Suffolk Border League in the same year. They won the Tommy Thompson Cup in their first season in the league.2016-2017 Official Handbook
Essex & Suffolk Border League Division Two was disbanded at the end of the 2006–07 season and the club moved up to Division One. In 2008–09 they won Division One, earning promotion to the Premier Division; the season also saw them win the Essex Premier Cup, beating Maldon St Mary's 1–0 in the final. After finishing fourth in the Premier Division in 2014–15, the club applied for promotion to the Eastern Counties League, but were rejected as they had proposed groundsharing with F.C. Clacton, with FA rules stating that groundshares should have been in place for at least a year prior to promotion. However, after finishing third in 2015–16, promotion to Division One of the Eastern Counties League was achieved.
