Affiliated to the Hampshire Football Association, they are currently members of the and play at the Gang Warily Recreation Ground. Their local rivals are Fawley and Hythe & Dibden. History The club was established in 1935. During World War II they played in the Hythe & District League, and following the war the club joined the Southampton Junior League. After winning Division One in 1945–46, they moved up to the West Division of the Southampton League. In their first season in the league they won the West Division and the Southampton Senior Cup. In 1949 the club joined Division Three East of the Hampshire League. Despite winning the division in 1951–52, they were not promoted, and were Division Three West runners-up the following season. The club were runners-up again in 1954–55 and were placed in Division Three following league restructuring at the end of the season. Blackfield & Langley were Division Three runners-up in 1955–56 and this time were promoted to Division Two. However, after finishing second-from-bottom of the division in 1959–60, the club were relegated back to Division Three. League restructuring in 1968 saw them moved into Division Three West, before further reorganisation in 1971 led to the club becoming members of Division Four. A third-place finish in 1974–75 resulted in promotion to Division Three, but they were relegated back to Division Four after finishing bottom of the table in 1978–79. When Division Four was abolished in 1980, the club were moved up to Division Three. The 1981–82 season saw Blackfield & Langley finish as runners-up in Division Three, earning promotion to Division One. After missing out on promotion to Division One on goal difference in 1983–84, they went on to win the Division Two title in 1984–85 and were promoted to the league's top division. They were Division One runners-up in 1988–89 and again in 1991–92 and 1993–94. They went on to win Division One and the Southampton Senior Cup in 1997–98, but were unable to take promotion due to their ground not meeting the Wessex League requirements. However, after upgrade work was complete, a third-place finish in the renamed Premier Division in 1999–2000 was enough to secure promotion. When the Wessex League gained extra divisions in 2004, the club were relegated to the new Division Two, having finished second-from-bottom
