The club joined the Combined Counties Football League Division One for the start of the 2005–06 campaign.[3] At the end of the 2007–08 season the club resigned from the Combined Counties League to join the newly formed Surrey Elite Intermediate League.[4][5] In 2011 they took voluntary relegation to the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) Premier Division.[6] Their first season back in the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) saw them finish bottom of the division and relegated to Division One.[6][7]
