Established in 1973 after purchasing a parcel of land from the MOD on the site of
Westonzoyland Airfield. The club played in the local leagues having various forms
of success with Chris Burt and Bill Coldwell and some failures that in 2005 saw the
club concede over 100 goals and be relegated. In 2006 and whilst in the TDSFL
Div 2 it was decided things needed to change or the club would fold. The focus
was to change the club from being a mid to late 20 year olds to mix in 17/18 year
olds and try to give the club some depth. This with luck happened and there was
an influx of fresh faced 17 year old young players – they are now 35 years old.

In 2008 and the club had 1 x adult male team. We now have 3 Adult Male, 1 Vets
Team, 1 Ladies Team and 17 youth Teams.

Paul Bennett (Ex-Chairman) and Johnny Warren took the reigns of the 1 Team
st
after Sean Boobyer and Craig Berry guided the team into the TDSFL Div 1. Johnny
and Paul guided the team to TDSFL champions in 2012 and the promotion to the
Somerset County League. This meant digging up the old entrance drive and buying
part of a field from a neighbour. The best choice we made.

The old changing facilities were an old WWII out building with a tin bath, no mains
electricity and water pressure that was a trickle. In 2020 after 10 years of putting
all the pieces in place we were very fortunate to gain grants from various sources
including the Football Foundation, FSIF, Viridor, Sport England and many smaller
grants that mean as a collective we have spent over £600K making a community
football club that should last for many years for many people to enjoy.
