History
The club was established in 1945 and joined the Hellenic League Division One A in 1971.
They have spent over thirty years in the lower divisions of the Hellenic League without ever winning the title, their best finish was 3rd place in the 1974–75 season. As their Addison Road ground does not have floodlights, they are currently ineligible for the FA Vase, but they did compete for two seasons (1989–90 and 1990–91) when the entry requirements were less stringent, but lost their first game on each occasion.
Currently, they are members of the Hellenic League Division One East. To gain promotion to the Premier Division they would need to install floodlights, hard standing and covered seating. This is not practical at their present ground so they are looking at a move to nearby Bodicote Park, the home of Banbury RUFC. Here there are already two floodlit pitches, one of which might be practical for Easington Sports.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
