History
Following the departure of Waltham Forest from the Wadham Lodge ground in 2008, the club were founded by former Waltham Forest assistant manager Martin Fitch. They started playing at the ground in place of the former tenants and joined the Essex Business Houses Football League. They finished third in their first season, and then moved up to the Essex Olympian League, winning Division Three and then Division Two in consecutive seasons. In Division One, they finished 4th in 2011–12 and a second-place finish in 2012–13 saw them promoted again. After finishing 4th in the Premier Division in 2014–15, an application to join the Essex Senior League for 2015–16 was successful.[1][2][3]
