The club was formed as Jupiter FC back in 1974 by John Ferne,and started life in the Junior Division 5 of the London & Kent Border League.Graham Dolby began playing for the club in 1975 and became Secretary in 1979.Under his guidance, the club made steady progress through the Junior Divisions reaching the Inter Section in the late seventies. Under a new name (White Horse FC) and new manager George Dolby (Graham's Father) the Inter 1 title was won in 1984,thus taking the club into the Senior Divisions, and by 1989 White Horse FC reached the Premier Division. Another name change followed (Whitehouse Sports FC) and this saw the start of a very successful period for the club, Graham then becoming player-manager of a reserve side that won a League and Cup double two seasons in a row.

Today's side was formed in 2000 by Graham Dolby and mainly consisted of very young family members coupled with some older heads such as Ray Howard, Del Carthy and John Smoothie who was captain.

The team was unbeaten in their first season, winning a treble of the Inter 3 title along with the Inter and Reserve cups.
