The team was disbanded during the 1914–1918 war and was re-established in 1918 as Ringwood Comrades, consisting mainly of servicemen returning from the battlefields.

Successive committees have continued to improve the facilities at the ground such that the club was able to join the Wessex League in 2004.

In 1980 the club recorded its most memorable achievement when Southern League opponents were defeated to win the Russell Cotes Cup.

At the end of the 2015–2016 season, the Wyvern winning side got back together to participate in the St Mary's Stadium football tournament.

After a round Robin where the team finished on the top spot with 4 goals scored and 0 conceded, they progressed to the semi-finals which they won on penalties after a winning penalty from James Crouch and later won the tournament with a 1–0 win with Matt Nabney's goal.
