immense success, winning the Wessex League title
before joining forces with local rivals New Milton

they reformed Lymington Town. The new club joined
the Hampshire League Division Three in 1998 and soon
progressed to the top division. They are currently

they reached after winning the Wessex League
Division One title in the 2004-05 season.
They are the current holders of thee Wessex League
Cup, which they won on May 7, 2007 after beating
Bournemouth on penalties.
During the 2007-08 season, they have reached the
