History
The club was founded in 1934.[2] The club were founder members of the Wycombe Senior League[3] In 1984 they became founding members of the Chiltonian League.[4] When the Chiltonian league merged with the Hellenic League in 2000, they joined Division One East.[5]
For nine seasons they stayed in the Hellenic league, until midway during their tenth campaign, the 2009–10 season. In November 2009 the club resigned from the league, stating that they did not have enough players or finances to continue the rest of the league season.[3] The club believed the cause of this problem was the new clubhouse built by the District Council that removed the hospitality functions they had with the old club house, so finding it hard to maintain a club spirit and the new sports ground not letting them do fund raising activities anymore.[3]
In the 2010–11 season the club joined the Wycombe & District League Senior Section, where they have remained until the end of last season. For the season 2019–20 the First Team will play in the Aylesbury & District Premier League and the reserves will play in the ADL Division 2
