History
Carshalton Athletic was formed from the merger of Mill Lane Mission and Carshalton St Andrews in 1906.
They played in the Croydon and District League Division 2A before joining the Southern Suburban League in 1907.
They won the Suburban League Division 1 West and East in 1913, and the Surrey Junior Cup, Surrey Junior Charity Cup and Croydon Charity Cup in this period.
In 1945 the club was elected into the Corinthian League, and went on to win the title twice in 1953 and 1954.
In 1973 they were elected as founders of the Isthmian League Division 2, and were promoted to the Isthmian Premier Division in 1976-77.
After a period of financial difficulty, the club was purchased by Paul Dipre in 2008 and went on to win the Isthmian League Division One South title in 2002-03.
They then competed in the Conference South until they were relegated in 2005-06.
In 2015 they installed a 3G pitch, and Colston Avenue has become a busy sports and community hub.
