Seasons

Notes on timeline

The club joined Division Two of the Western League in 1904, but also continued to play in the Wiltshire League.
At the end of the 1905–06 season the club withdrew from the Western League.
Most competitive football was suspended in England between 1940 and 1945 due to World War II.
In the 1946-47 season the club did not play 3 of the scheduled matches due to the harshness of the weather.
In the 1947-48 season the club did not play the scheduled match against Soundwell.
The departures of 13 clubs from the Western League in 1960 meant that Division 2 was scrapped. The 20 remaining clubs + Exeter City Reserves became members of a single section competition, hence no promotion is recorded here. The club, between the 1964-65 season and the beginning of the 1968-69 season, left the Western League and rejoined the Wiltshire League.
At the end of the 1972-73 season, the club transferred to the Western League. The 1989-90 season saw the introduction of 3 points for a win.
The introduction of the English Football League pyramid system started around 1991 at which point the club were competing at Level 8
The Western League Premier Division became a Level 9 league in 2007 due to re-organisation of the lower league system. Seasons where the club were successful in gaining promotion or winning a trophy are highlighted in green and relegation in red.
