In 1972, they joined Division Four of the Hampshire League and were promoted to Division One by the mid 80s. They joined the Wessex League in 1986 but after finishing bottom of the league in 1994–95, they were relegated back to the Hampshire League, where they remained until rejoining the Wessex League as founder members of the new Division Two in 2004.
