Although officially the club was formed in 1923 as a result of a merger between
Peacehaven Rangers and
Telscombe Tye. It is recorded that a number of games were played in 1922 following a meeting of interested players in June of that year. After the second world war the club joined Junior Division One of the
Brighton, Hove & District Football League for the start of the 1949–50 campaign finishing runners up at the first attempt. Two seasons later the club achieved promotion to the Intermediate division when they finished as champions of the Junior Division One, and gained further promotion the next season when they finished runners-up in the Intermediate division. The club could only survive two seasons in the Senior division before being relegated back to the intermediate division at the end of the 1954–55 competition. Four seasons later the club were promoted back to the Senior division when they finished runners-up, but as before they could only survive two seasons in the top division before being relegated again. The 1963–64 season saw the club promoted back to the Senior division as champions of the Intermediate division. The club would then go on to win the Senior division five seasons later, without losing a single game. The Senior division win in the Brighton league enabled the club to be promoted to Division Two of the
Sussex County Football League, for the start of the 1969–70 season. Their fourth season in Division Two, the 1972–73 campaign, saw the club make their debut in the
FA Cup, where they beat
Burgess Hill Town in the First Qualifying round before losing to
Lewes in the next round. The 1975–76 season saw the club gain promotion to Division One for the first time, when they finished runners up behind
Selsey. In their third season, 1978–79, in Division One the club finished as champions of the Sussex County League. Two seasons after winning the last of these six titles, the 1997–98 campaign saw the club relegated to Division Two. The next season saw them become champions of Division Three in the 2005–06 season, earning promotion back to Division Two. The club achieved further success at the end of the 2012–13 campaign the club won the Sussex county league for the eighth time in their history and earning themselves promotion to the
Isthmian League. In 2013–14, the club won the
Isthmian League Division One South and earned a second successive promotion, reaching the Isthmian Premier Division.
