In 1976 after time spent in the Southend & District League, they joined the Essex Olympian League and in 1979/80 won the league title for the first time repeating that feat with a second title in 1980/81. They won further back-to-back titles in 1983/84 and 1984/85

With further titles in 1989/90 & 2000/01 they continued to be a force and it was hoped within the club that financial backing would see them climb the football pyramid however this did not materialise and they remained in the Essex Olympian League until 2023/24 when they won the title again and with a groundshare agreement in place at former conference side Concord Rangers they gained promotion to the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties League

They also won the prestigious Essex Premier Cup the same season for the 4th time in their history under the guidance of the current management team In their first season at Step 6 of the football pyramid they finished a creditable 4th having led the table for the opening months of the 2024/25 season

That 4th place finish saw the club qualify for the playoffs and having beaten AS London 4-1 in the semi-final they narrowly missed out on promotion following a 2-0 defeat in the final against Hackney Wick

The 2024/25 season also saw them competing in the FA Vase for the first time in their history and having navigated past the first two preliminary qualifying rounds they made their way through to the 2nd round proper losing late on 2-4 at home to step 5 Harpendon Town

A similar great run in the Essex Senior Cup saw them draw step 2 National League South side Hornchurch at home where they put in another creditable performance before losing out 0-2

The club has ambitious plans to progress further in the Football Pyramid and are hopeful of developments on that front that will see them return to their spiritual home in Rayleigh
