The club was originally formed in 1898, it was known as Malmesbury Town and the United before in the 1960's amalgamating with a successful Swindon club known as Swindon Victoria, the club has played in various locations in and around the town, before eventually settling on the present site, known as The Flying Monk Ground. The ground was previously owned by the pub known as The Flying Monk.
There has been ups and downs over the past few years, but in 99/00 the club was extremely successful with both Saturday sides winning their leagues for the first time since 1974. The first team won the Wiltshire Premier League to clinch promotion to the Hellenic League, with the reserves winning the equivalent junior division to gain promotion to the Premier Division.
During their first season in the Hellenic League the first team acquitted themselves well, to finish 4th in the league. Since then things have been much harder to finish in the top half of the league, but in 01/02 the club did win the Wiltshire Senior Cup. 04/05 saw the club decide to start to run a Under 18's team in the Wiltshire Floodlit League with the hope of providing local players progression in to senior football.
The club has made giant steps to improve their facilities, in the summer of 2004 the giant step of installing floodlights was completed and the summer of 2005 saw the complete refurbishment of the clubhouse. The club continues to move forward and with the new management team, and the conscious decision to play local lads in both senior sides we hope that the teams can improve this season.
Season 2006/07, we were unlucky not to get promotion into the Hellenic Premier, finishing in fourth place, lets hope this season we can do better.
