[edit] History

Founded in 1893, the club joined the new Peterborough & District League in 1949.

In 1960 the club bought some farmland and built the West End Ground, having previously played on a nearby recreation ground. Floodlights were added in 1991, and were officially inaugurated in a friendly game against Norwich City in November 1992, a game which set the ground's attendance record of 538.[1]

They joined the Eastern Counties League in 1988, and were founder members of its second tier. They remained in the First Division until 2004, when they dropped into the Premier Division of the Cambridgeshire League after finishing bottom of the league. In 2007 they were relegated to the Senior A Division after finishing bottom of the Premier Division.
