History
The club was established in 2014 by Kevin Oakes and friends as a Sunday league club.[1] They joined Division Two of the London & Kent Suburban League, and finished third in the division in their first season, resulting in promotion to Division One.[1][2] After finishing fourth in Division One the following season,[3] the club switched to Saturday football,[1] joining Division Three West of the Kent County League.[4] The Sunday side continued for another two seasons.
Welling won the Barry Bundock West Kent Challenge Shield in 2016–17 and were Division Three West runners-up, earning promotion to Division Two West.[5] They went on to win Division Two West and the Kent Junior Cup the following season, also retaining the Barry Bundock West Kent Challenge Shield.[5] The club then successfully applied to join Division One of the Southern Counties East League,[5] a jump of three divisions.
In their first season in the Southern Counties East League, Welling were Division One champions, earning promotion to the Premier Division.
