It was established by former HKFA chairman Fu Lee Sha and Tsang Sam Chiu in 1959. The team entered the former Hong Kong Third Division League in 1959-1960 season. The team carried a three-year plan to get promotion to First Division. In 1961-1962, the team became the first district team to compete in First Division. In 1962-1963, the team gained their first top Division League title. In 1967-1968, the team captured their first Senior Shield by beating Tung Sing. In 1968-1969, the team turned professional until 1972-1973 when it focused on a youth squad. In 1978-1979, the team beat the league giant Seiko in FA Cup final, which avoided Seiko from capturing all the 6 major tropies in the season. In 1979-1980, the team quit the league due to financial problem.
