History
The Club was initially part of the Metal Box Sports Club, formed in early 1971 providing Cricket and Football to the local community.

Over the years the club slowly declined and eventually the works closed and the existing club moved to Tempest Road, Lostock, Bolton in 2000. The Cricket team and the 11 a side [[football] teams were all that remained and played at the new ground.

Small sided, Mini Soccer was introduced in 2003 and the Club witnessed an explosion of numbers in 2006 as increasingly more younger players were allowed to play organised football on a scale more suited to their size and capability. The club has since grown and in 2008 added a Rounders Section.

Crest and Colours
Our club emblem is designed around the Brazilian national football team crest due to our links with Coritiba FC.

Football Club
We currently field 10 teams, which means we have in excess of 100 boys, girls and adults playing organised football every week.

We are a FA Charter Standard Club and have held this status since November 2002. We will soon be conducting after school training with local primary schools within our area. This ensures that children who, for whatever reason do not wish to join a club, can benefit from at least having the opportunity to have a go and be coached by our fully qualified FA Coaching Staff delivering structured training sessions to all.

We have 11 qualified and CRB checked managers, coaches and volunteers. We actively pursue and train young referees and will be encouraging our 14 years+ to join the Young Coaches Association.
