History

Established in 1932, the club joined the Gloucestershire County League in 1982. After finishing runners up in 1994–95, they were promoted to Division One of the Hellenic League. They finished third in 1994–95, earning promotion to the Premier Division. Despite finishing in the bottom three every season, the club avoided relegation until 2001–02, when they went back down to Division One West.
In 2005–06, the club finished runners up, earning promotion back to the Premier Division.
In November 2009, the club resigned from the Hellenic League due to financial problems, and took their Reserve Team's place in Division Two of the Gloucester Northern Senior League. In the 2010–11 season the club were very likely to be promoted and did so, just being pipped as champions by Frampton FC. The club went on to play in Division One of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League for the 2011–12 season.
After Steve Boseley's premiership in charge of the 1st team, the club has struggled to gain a foothold in local football as they had done during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Many former players have taken charge since including Martin Reid and Darren Weyman but without any major success.
The current 1st team manager's are Jamie Addis and Ryan Pendrey who took charge in October 2017, taking over from Darren Gwilliam. The club successfully runs three men's teams. A famous fan of the club is comedian Harry Hill, whose name is also a nickname of the club. Harry was presented with a club badge in 2008, and has worn it on his programme Harry Hill's TV Burp.
