They are currently members of the Anglian Combination Premier Division, having previously played in the Eastern Counties League.

In 1897 they were founder members of the Norfolk & Suffolk League, winning it in 1899–1900, losing only a single match.

Frustrated by a perceived lack of ambition,[2] in 1902 the team's captain (Robert Webster) and vice-captain (Joseph Cowper Nutchey) left to form a new club, Norwich City, which also joined the Norfolk & Suffolk League.

The club initially played at "The Rec" on Earlham Road, a ground which also reportedly included the best cycle track in England.

[2] After World War II they moved to Norwich City's old Newmarket Road ground, now owned by Town Close School.
