[edit] History
Beaconsfield United F.C. was formed in 1921 and competed in local leagues until 1979 when they joined the London Spartan League, where their best performance saw them finish sixth in the Premier Division in both 1983-84 and 1985-86.
Slough Youth Centre Old Boys F.C. grew out of a boys' club based in Slough and first entered an adult league in 1947. They played in local leagues until 1990 when they joined the Chiltonian League where they were Premier Division runners-up in 1993-94.
In 1994 new ground regulations meant that SYCOB sought a groundshare agreement with Beaconsfield, but with United struggling financially it was felt that a merger of the two clubs would be the best way forward. The new club inherited United's place in the Spartan League (later renamed the Spartan South Midlands League) and claimed the championship on two occasions. On the first occasion they applied to move up to the Isthmian League but were rejected due to the state of their ground, however after the second title win in 2003-04 they were able to move up to the Southern League where, due to divisional restructurings, they have managed to play in three different divisions in three seasons without ever being promoted or relegated.
