There was an original club in Nettleham around 1905. The team changed at the Halfway House (the top of Washdyke Hill) in a then Public House and the pitch was at Grange-de-Lings, where it remained until 1946-47. The club disbanded around 1914 and reformed after the First World War in 1919, and although during the post war years, succeeded in winning the Applewhite Cup around 1924, in the thirties it hit hard times and folded about 1936. The club however was reformed in 1938, and apart from the war years 1939-1945 has continued ever since.

 

In 1948 the club moved its ground to the village, playing on what is known as Bill Bailey’s Field on Scothern Road, and changed at the White Hart Hotel which necessitated a walk through the village to the pitch. However the acquisition by the council of land belonging to the Church in the mid seventies saw the club move to its present home in 1979, later to be named Mulsanne Park following the twinning of the village with Mulsanne in France.

 

The club continued to play in the local league until 1981, when they made a successful application to join the Lincolnshire County League. In the first season promotion was gained to the First Division of the League and the Club remained in this League until 1988 when a successful application was made to join the Central Midlands League. In 1990 the club gained promotion to the Supreme Division of the league.

 

 

The club has developed considerably over the years and the excellent facilities at Mulsanne Park have helped to achieve its current status. At the same time the club has grown to be one of, if not the largest amateur club in Lincolnshire, catering for no less than twelve different teams, five seniors, six juniors and a ladies team.
