History
The club was formed in 1911 and played in local leagues until 1952 when they joined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League.[2] The club played in this league until 1969, when due to a lack of a committee the club folded, but was reformed again two seasons later.[2] The club won the Senior League Division One Championship in the 1979–80 season and moved to Division One of the Hellenic league for the 1980–81 season.[2][3] Four seasons later they left the league and rejoined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League.[2]
In the 2005–06 season, they won the Gloucestershire County League title, earning promotion back into the Hellenic League Division One West for the 2006–07 season.[3] They won Division one west at the first attempt and were promoted to the Premier Division, but were demoted back to Division one a season later due to not having their floodlights operational in time.[3]
