History
The club was founded in 1947 and joined the South Western League in 1974 and played there for four years before gaining admittance to the Western Football League. The club spent more than a decade languishing near the bottom of Division One, but finally a runners-up performance in 1990–91 enabled promotion to the top flight of the league. In the 1994–95 season, they reached the 4th round of the FA Vase, as well as claiming a runners-up finish in the Premier Division. However, the club's fortunes declined following that successful season and Elmore returned to Division One after a last-place finish in 2003–04.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Tell me of the height of the mountains of the moon, or of the diameter of space, and I may believe you, but of the secret history of the Almighty, and I shall pronounce thee mad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
