was founded on Saturday 11 October 1890 at a meeting held in the reading room of the Douglas Gymnasium, which was itself opened on Tuesday 12 November 1889.

As a result, Gymns altered the club colours that season to reflect this new kit, later switching the shorts and socks from blue to black and thus creating the home strip worn today.

During the 2008–09 season, the club achieved The Football Association Charter Standard status, the FA's kitemark scheme for quality assurance.

This partnership enables the CSSC pavilion facilities to be used during the football season to provide a further level of comfort to home and visiting players.

The GTID Cricket team was formed in the summer of 2020, consisting of mixed ability players who play football for the club.
