History
The club was founded, by Bernie Kelly, in 1998[2] and grew as a community club with teams at junior and adult levels. The club played in black and white stripes from their foundation in 1998 until 2026, but switched to claret and gold, colours associated with other Seaton Carew sports teams, in 2026.[2]
After playing in the Hartlepool Church & District League, the senior team first entered the Wearside League in 2012, but left in 2015.[3] They re-entered the Wearside League in the 2023–24 season, and secured promotion to the Northern League as champions in 2026.[1]
