History

The club was established in 1949 as Flight Refuelling F.C. and played in the local Dorset leagues.[2] The club managed to work its way up the leagues and joined the Dorset Combination league for the start of the 1958–59 season. However, they only lasted two seasons in the league and had to wait until the 1977–78 season. Their first season back in the Dorset Combination league was a complete success as they finished the season as champions.[2] Four seasons later in the 1980–81 campaign, the club made their debut in the FA Vase and continued playing in the competition until the end of the 1994–95 season when new ground regulations stopped them entering the competition.[2] They changed their name to Cobham Sports F.C. in 2001.

At the start of the 2010–11 season the club merged with Merley Allendale Youth FC, and changed their name to Merley Cobham Sports F.C.[3] In May 2012, the club was awarded its FA chartered Standard.[4] The club reverted to the name of Cobham Sports F.C. in 2024.
