History

The club joined the Hampshire League in 1983, then joined the Wessex League on its formation in 1986. A second place finish in 1990 saw them promoted to the Southern League, initially in the Southern (later renamed Eastern) Division. In 2001 they were promoted to the Premier Division but were relegated straight back again.

For the 2004-05 season the club was moved into the Isthmian League First Division.
