The team finally won promotion to the top flight in the 1999/2000 season and again in the 200/2003 season

Originally called Southport Amateurs, but on closure of the club moved to the Berkeley Hotel as the Exams (i.e. Ex Amateurs). For a time the hotel was renamed Blakes, but it reverted to its original name. At the start of the 2006-7 season the team moved to the Wings Club. On the closure of the Wings Club and the Shakespeare, the team moved to the Bold Arms..
