The club's first competitive fixture was a 1–1 home draw against Chessington & Hook United. Their first win would come a week later, in 3–1 home win over Sheppey Sports.[3] Their first season ended in success, as the club secured the Division One title on the final day of the season, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[4][5] Borough also won the London Senior Trophy, defeating Wimbledon Casuals 2–0 in the final.[6]
