The club were the first Cornish team to reach the first round proper of the FA Cup,[2] which they have done on three occasions; 1962–63, 1967–68 and 1969–70.

[8] At the start of the following season the club won the league's Charity Bowl with a 2–1 win over Plymouth Parkway.

[10] In 2023–24 they won the Cornwall Senior Cup again, and were Premier Division runners-up to Helston Athletic, qualifying for the promotion play-offs.

[11] The club initially played at the Recreation Ground, before moving to Union Corner when they joined the South Western League.

[4] Over 1,200 spectators attended the club's first South Western League match on 18 August 1951, the game ending in a 3–3 draw.

However, this was soon sold to Shell-Mex & BP for £20,000,[4] with the club moving back to Union Corner for a season in 1956.

[4] The money allowed them to build a new ground at Bickland Park, which opened in August 1957 with Newquay the first visitors.

[4] In the early 1960s the club played a home game at Falmouth Docks' Mongleath/Boslowick as Bickland Park was being used for a Cornwall FA match.
