History

The club was established prior to the 1914–18 war, and was known as Bookham Blues but it was not until 1921 that the club became affiliated to the Surrey FA.[1]

In the 1995–96 season the club joined the Surrey County Senior League and remained there for seven seasons.[2] At the end of the 2002–03 season they joined the Combined Counties League as members of newly created Division One.[3] At the end of the 2005–06 campaign, under manager Glyn Mandeville, the club finished in third place in Division one and achieved promotion to the Premier Division.[1][3] The 2007–08 season saw the club make their debut in the FA Cup in the Extra Preliminary round against Lordswood.[2]

The 2010–11 season in the Combined Counties Premier division had a new look management team that consisted of Andy Taylor and Kevin Ward.[4] However the club finished in the relegation places and were relegated to Division one.[5] At the end of the 2011–12 campaign the club resigned from the Combined Counties League and joined the Surrey Elite Intermediate League.[6]
