The club was re-formed in 1977 with just an U15 team playing in the
Weston-super- Mare Sunday League and then progressing in
successive seasons to the Bristol and Avon League U16s and the
second and first divisions before being admitted into the Somerset
Senior League for the 1981-82 season.
The next ten years were spent climbing through the four divisions
before being voted into the Western League for season 1991-92.
The First Division was won in 1997-98 and then followed seventeen
successive seasons in the Premier Division, the highlight being
winning the Premier title in 2012-13.
Unfortunately our ground grading did not permit progression to the
Southern League and all the team management and players then left
the club.
Relegation from the Premier followed at the end of season 2014-15
and we have experienced mixed fortunes in the First Division since
then.
For this season 2020-21 Jon Toy came in as manager but
unfortunately we were only able to play 10 games before the season
was curtailed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Having retained a lot
of last season’s squad and added a couple of new players we hope
for a good season.
