History
The football club was established in 1993 when the youth team of Mulbarton United, a now-defunct Anglian Combination side, broke away to form their own youth team.[1] They merged with the Harford Belles girls team in 2001 and establish in the Central and South Norfolk League, a men's senior team, in Division Four.[2] The club won promotion in their first season, continued to rise through the league, and beginning in 2007–08 season reached Division One.[2] They were promoted to the Anglian Combination Division Six in 2009, and achieved six successive promotions, reaching the Premier Division in 2015.[3][2] After finishing second in 2018, the club successfully applied to join the Eastern Counties Football League, entering in Division One North for 2018–19.[4]
Their debut season in the Eastern Counties League saw the club compete in the FA Vase for the first time, and in the following season saw the club enter the FA Cup for the first time, losing to Boston Town in the extra preliminary round.[3] In 2021 the club were promoted to the Premier Division based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.
In addition to the men's first team, the club is also home to three women's teams (playing in the Eastern Region Women's Football League and Norfolk Women and Girls Football League), a men's reserve team playing in the Anglian Combination, an under 18 team playing in the Thurlow Nunn Youth League and 27 junior teams (2 in the Eastern Junior Alliance, 19 in the Norfolk Combined Youth Football League and 6 in the Norfolk Women and Girls Football League). It also runs the Wildcats programme and U5 and U6 programmes.
