History

The new club entered the Kent County Football League Division Two East and finished runners-up at their first attempt. The club then spent two seasons in Division One East before being relegated back to Division Two. It took them another four seasons to gain promotion again to Division One East when they finished as Runners-up at the end of the 2008–09 season. The club then gained automatic promotion again when they won Division One East, to the Premier Division. For the 2011–12 season the club was accepted into the Kent Invicta Football League at level 10 of the English football league system for the league's inaugural season. However, the following season, the club voluntarily left the Kent Invicta League and rejoined the Kent County League.
