In the season 2014–15 Royals beat Basford United 1–0 with a 70th-minute goal by Kirk Francis in the second preliminary round of the FA Vase, while they were promoted to the East Midlands Counties League by winning the Central Midlands League South Division.[3] However, due to financial difficulties, they resigned four matches into the new season and the club folded.
