However, they rejoined the Sussex County League in 1961, being placed in Division One.^[1] The club were champions for the third time in 1969–70 and finished runners-up in 1974–75 before being relegated to Division Two in 1980. They returned to Division One in 1986 after finishing runners-up. In 1989, they changed their name to their present name, and reached the Third Round of the FA Vase in 1990–91. ^[2] However, from 1992 to 1993 the club was relegated twice in successive seasons to Division Three.
