[edit] History
The club was established in 1894, and initially played on Common Down before moving to the Little Dean Field in London Road around 1910.[1] The club played in the Faber League and the Sutton Scotney League during the 1920s, winning the Faber League Cup once and the Sutton Scotney League three times. In 1931 they joined Division Two of the Andover Junior League, which they won at the first attempt. The following season they won the Hants Junior B Cup, and in 1935 they won the North Hants Junior Cup. In 1936 they transferred to the Winchester League.
After World War II the club rejoined the Andover Junior League. They won Division One four times and the League Cup twice. However, in 1971 the club's ground was closed by Hampshire County Council in order to make improvements to a nearby road. The club played on the field of a local farmer until August 1978, when their current ground was opened. They won the league in their first season at the new ground, and again in 1981–82. In 1984 they were promoted to the North Hants Senior League, which they won in 1987–88.
In 1990–91 the club were promoted to Division Three of the Hampshire League. After finishing second in 1992–93 they were promoted to Division Two, and a second-place finish in 1995–96 saw them promoted to Division One. A reorganisation in 1999 saw them placed in the Premier Division, and in 2004 they joined the newly-formed Division Two of the Wessex League.[2] This became Division One in 2006–07
