The club gained promotion back to Step 5 and the Premier Division with a third place finish which included a 22 game unbeaten run during the season. In the final game of the season the team won the First Division KO Cup Final with a 1-0 victory over Great Yarmouth Town.

The 2013/14 season in the Eastern Counties Premier Division again proved to be a successful one, gaining promotion after finishing Runners-up to Hadleigh United, losing out on the final day by goal difference. The club also reached the last 16 of the F.A Vase and in doing so agian created history.
