History
The club were founded in 2017 "to give players from Rugby Town Juniors and its partners, a place to continue playing football in the Orange shirt into their adult years". They were placed in Division One of the Leicestershire Senior League, which they won at the first attempt, losing only three of their 31 matches with a goal difference of +168,[1] resulting in promotion to the Premier Division. They went on to win the Premier Division title in 2018–19, but were denied promotion as their ground did not FA regulations.[2] The 2018–19 season also saw the club compete in the FA Vase for the first time, defeating Malvern Town 3–2 in the first qualifying round,[3] before losing to Bustleholme in the next round. The club ended the season by winning the Coventry Charity Cup with a 2–1 defeat of Coventry Alvis.[4]
