History


The club was founded in 1974 by Harjit Singh Panesar and Baljit Singh, and joined Division Four of the Bradford Amateur Sunday League, which they won in their first season.[2] They won the Premier Division in 1995–96 and in 1999–2000, a season in which they also won the Bradford Sunday Senior Cup and the British Asian Championship, as well as reaching the final of the FA Sunday Cup, where they lost 1–0 to Hull-based Prestige Brighams.[2] They won the Premier Division again in 2000–01, 2002–03, 2004–05 and 2005–06,[3] as well as reaching the final of the FA Sunday Cup again in 2005, losing 3–2 to Gossoms End of London.[2]

In 2007 the club switched to Saturday football, joining the Bradford League, before switching to the West Riding County Amateur League the following year.[2] They finished second in Division One in 2008–09, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[4] After finishing as runners-up in the Premier Division in 2009–10 and 2010–11, the club were promoted to Division One of the Northern Counties East League.[2]

After missing out on promotion by one point in their first season in the division, in 2012–13 the club won Division One and were promoted to the Premier Division.[5]
