History
The club was established in 2006, and joined the Essex & Suffolk Border League in the same year. In 2008–09 they won Division One, earning promotion to the Premier Division. The club applied for promotion to the Eastern Counties League in 2014–15. However, although they finished in fourth place, high enough in the division to be promoted, their application was rejected due to a proposed groundshare with F.C. Clacton, FA rules stating that groundshares should have been in place for at least a year prior to promotion.
However, after finishing third in 2015–16, promotion to Division One of the Eastern Counties League was achieved.
Ground
The club initially played at the Eastcliff Recreation Ground. Plans for a stadium upgrade were dropped in 2015, and the club agreed to groundshare with F.C. Clacton at their Rush Green Bowl ground due to building works at Eastcliff.
