The 1996–97 season saw the club join Division two of the Notts Alliance league.[6] The following season saw the club promoted to Division one when they finished as runners-up[6] The 2002–03 season then saw them gain promotion to the Senior Division, but they only spent one season in this division when they left the league to join the Senior Division of the newly formed Nottinghamshire Senior League.
