History

The club was established in 1948 by recently demobilised soldiers.[1] The club's green shirts were created by a player's mother dyeing white shirts green, the only colouring available at the time.[1] The new club joined Division Three of the Bristol & Suburban League, and won the league's Alf Bosley Cup in 1958–59 and again in 1963–64.[1]

In 1974 Hengrove moved up to the Somerset County League in 1974–75.[1] By the end of the 1970s they had reached the Premier Division,[1][2] and in 1979–80 the club won both the League Cup and the Somerset Senior Cup.[1] In 1989–90 they finished bottom of the Premier Division and were relegated to Division One. They returned to the Premier Division at the end of the 1995–96 season after a third-place finish in Division One.[3] Hengrove finished in the bottom three of the Premier Division in 1998–99 and were relegated back to Division One. They were subsequently Division One runners-up in 2003–04, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[3] In 2005–06 the club won the Premier Division title and were promoted to Division One of the Western League.

Hengrove were Division One runners-up in 2012–13, resulting in promotion to the Western League Premier Division. However, the club were relegated after a single season, having finished bottom of the division.[3] In 2015–16 Hengrove won the league's Les Phillips Cup. The following season saw them finish as Division One runners-up, earning promotion back to the Premier Division.[3] In 2018–19 the club finished second-from-bottom of the Premier Division and were relegated back to Division One.[3]

Ground

The club moved to Norton Lane in 1964, with the ground officially opened on 7 June that year.[1] A new stand was built and floodlights were erected during the 2007–08 season, with a second stand constructed in the 2012–13 season.[1]
