The new club was granted a position in the Surrey South Eastern Combination League[3] for the 2021/22 season, having formed a merge of registration with Balham FC B Team.
[4] This still left the club with less than one month to build a squad from scratch, ready for their debut match on 4 September 2021 at home to Earlsfield 2018.
The site of Church Road was formerly farmland, and the farm's existing buildings were converted into the clubhouse and dressing rooms.
