The club won Sussex RUR Cup in 2000–01 and the John O'Hara Cup the following season. They won the Division One title in 2004–05, but were denied promotion due to ground grading regulations. However, after winning Division One again the following season and making improvements to their Gorings Mead ground, the club were promoted to Division One South of the Isthmian League.
