editThe club was established in 1881. In 1979–80, the club entered the FA Vase for the first time, going on to enter the competition in each of the next eight seasons.[1] In 1999, they joined Division Two of the West Lancashire League. After winning the division at the first attempt, they were promoted to Division One.[1] The club finished bottom of Division One in 2004–05, resulting in relegation back to Division Two. They left the league at the end of the 2008–09 season.[1]
