The club was established in 1911, playing their first games at Ash common. They played in Surrey football, first in the Surrey Intermediate League and continued to do so after the Second World war. They remained in the surrey league until 1971 when the club was forced to leave their home of Ash common, and dropped down to teh Aldershot League, as they had no ground to meet league requirements. The club then found its ccurrent home at Youngs Drive and were then able to get into the Surrey Senior League for teh start of the 1976-1977 season.
