to Uxbridge F.C. The amalgamation saw the club adopt red shirts which are still the colours worn today, and the nickname "The Reds" first used. The club became founder members of the Southern League in the 1894–95 season finishing in mid-table in Division Two. In the 1897–98 season they reached the final of the FA Amateur Cup, losing to Middlesbrough 2–0 at Crystal Palace. The club stayed in the Southern league until the end of the 1898–99 season, dropping out for financial reasons to join the Middlesex Amateur League at the start of the 1899–1900 season. However, they only survived a single season in the Middlesex league before folding with a debt of £75 19s 10d. After two years, and with the debt repaid, the club was restarted for the 1902–3 season. They joined the West Middlesex league, two seasons later they joined the Great Western Combination League and remained there until The Great War. After the First world War they joined the Athenian League in the 1919–20 season as Uxbridge Town. They finished second from bottom and were relegated to the Great Western Combination League. The club returned to the Athenian League four seasons later and stayed in the league until the 1936–37 season when they failed to be re-elected after finishing bottom of the league twice. The club then moved to the Spartan League as Uxbridge F.C. and finished top of the league. However, they were denied the championship, as it was discovered the club had played an ineligible player, so they finished third when six points were deducted. The club then joined the London League the season afterwards and then rejoined the Great Western Combination League during World War II. By 1939 Uxbridge had played at eight home grounds since its establishment in 1871 and had been playing at the RAF Uxbridge stadium since 1923. With the coming of the war the team had to play away from home from the 1939–40 season while RAF Uxbridge conducted its historic role in the defence of the United Kingdom. After the war the club rejoined the London League in the 1945–46 season. Uxbridge returned to the R.A.F. Uxbridge stadium after six years on 11 May 1946 with a 3–0 win in a friendly game against Twickenham. In the 1946–47 season the club joined the Corinthian League, opening with a 2–1 defeat at home against Eastbourne on 31 August 1946.
