History

[edit]

The club was founded as St. Annes (Oldland) in 1910.[2] The current incarnation of the club was formed from a merger between Oldland and Longwell Green Abbotonians in 1998.[3] Oldland had played in the Gloucestershire County League on-and-off since 1974.[4] Meanwhile, Longwell Green Abbotonians had been playing in the Somerset Senior League since 1985, winning Division One in 1993–94.[5] In the 2022–23 Western Football League season, the O's finished fourth in the table and qualified for the playoffs, defeating Wincanton Town in the first round and subsequently defeated Shirehampton in the final, qualifying for the Premier Division.
