Newark joined the Abbey Gauge South Essex League in the 1989/90 season. The following season, Newark won the East London Floodlight League, First Division Cup in 1990/91 season. This was a major step for a local team and paved the way for many other local teams to play league football. The senior team now plays in the Essex Business Houses Football League, one of 2 local teams to play Saturday league football. The reserves play in the Inner London Football League on Sunday.

Pioneers of Youth Football

In 1996 Newark Youth London took the initiative to set up a youth team to develop the next generation of players. This was a major step because no other local team had a youth team or youth development structure. Newark showed how important it was to develop new talents for the future. Newark now has 3 youth teams playing in the Newham Youth League and is the sole Asian representative in the league. Newark is hoping to build on this and increase the number of teams. Newark youth teams have had lot of success playing in local leagues. The youth teams have won the SNC League 3 times and are currently playing in the Tower Hamlets Summer Youth League.
