The club was formed in 2003 with just the adult team; they established themselves in the Northern Counties East League Division One. Over the next few years they flirted with relegation on several occasions but always managed to survive. Then, in the 2014-15 season a change occurred; a flourishing youth group of teams were approached to join the 14 Issue 73 Grimsby Borough organisation. They agreed with a few alterations being made to personnel and the direction the club wanted to go. This helped form the basis of how the club is currently operating. We have recently gone through major changes in the background of the club, namely an executive committee being set up to oversee the complete running of the club. This was essential as the club has gone through changes in the number of teams playing under the Grimsby Borough umbrella. The club boasts 32 teams ranging from Under 7’s through to the senior side still competing in the NCEL as well as a thriving ladies setup starting at Under 12’s through to a full adult side, who have recently won their respective league.
