The club, who play at Holloway Hill, was originally formed in 1969 as Ockford Social F.C playing friendly matches, then in 1970 they joined and won the Guildford & District League Division 4, with a record of Played 16, Won 16, Goals for 158 and against 10. They went on to win both Divisions 3 and 2 as well as reaching the League Cup Final on three occasions, winning two and losing the other.

In 1973 they were accepted by the Surrey Intermediate League Premier ‘B’ finishing in third place. The highlight of that season however was reaching the Premier League Cup Final where they were narrowly defeated 1-0 by Merrow in an evenly matched contest played at Godalming.

The rest of the 70s and early 80s saw Social finishing in mid-table positions until they were relegated to Division 3 in 1982. Little success on or off the field was seen until in 1984, new club officers were elected, including Barrie Hogan as Secretary (A position he still holds). Since then the club has narrowly missed promotion on an almost regular basis and have reached the Quarter Final stage of the League Cup on no fewer than five occasion and the County Cup quarter final in 1988.

The early 90s continued in the same fashion as Ockford Social just missed on promotion to Division Two in the first three seasons. Then prior to the 1993-1994 season Ockford Social F.C changed its name to Godalming Athletic Football Club.

The rest of the 90s again continued with several missed promotions. Then in the 1998-1999 season Godalming Athletic F.C. finished bottom of the league. This was mainly due to a lack of players for this current season and therefore no Reserve team and a serious lack of experience. The only good thing to come out of the season was the fact that new facilities were being built at Holloway Hill, which would lead to a brand new Clubhouse.

Godalming Athletic F.C had far superior facilities within its new Clubhouse and so we were able to attract new players and in season 1999-2000 the Reserves were reformed. Although the Reserves finished bottom in their respective league the first team finished in the top half of the Surrey Intermediate League Division 3. Also that season we were runners up to Chiddingfold in the final of the Dunsfold Charity Cup.

Season 2000-2001 brought an even better improvement as both the first and second teams missed promotion by one place. The first team finishing fourth and the reserves finishing fifth.

Season 2001-2002 started well with us winning the Dunsfold Cup 3-1 against Milford & Witley.

The cup form was carried into the league with us going top winning our first five games. With only four games left the 1st team had only lost three games all season, champions or promotion at least was the target. Depleted sides were put out and we lost all four games and any chance of promotion. The reserves finished eighth but recorded there biggest win 17-0 against Burymead.

Godalming and Farncombe merge to become Godalming and Farncombe Athletic.

Season 2002-2003 started much the same as last year winning seven out of eight games, and we were in the top two of the table all season, untill the last game. Godalming & Farncombe 1 Shalford 3, Ockham 2 Knaphill 1, these two results meant Ockham were champions and Shalford runners up. The week before saw the first team lose 3-1 to Badshot Lea (leaders of division one) in the semi-final of the Premier Cup, along the way we had beaten teams from division one and two.

The reserves are a different story, losing their first game 3-1 they then went unbeaten for twelve games, winning ten and drawing two. With Shalford winning their last game the reserves had to be content with the runners up position and promotion.
