General Chemicals F.C. were reformed in 1964, with the sole aim of gaining entry into the West Cheshire League.

Extra facilities were built in order to meet the necessary requirements. Later developments included perimeter fencing, and in 1989, Floodlights were erected and an official opening took place with a game against a F.A. XI.

The clubs most prolific season was 1988-89 when they won the Cheshire Amateur Cup, the Runcorn Challenge Cup, and the Mid Cheshire FA Cup. These victories enabling them to represent Cheshire in the Northern Counties Championship in which they were closely beaten Semi-finalists.

Other honours include West Cheshire Division 1 Runners Up and Pyke Cup Winners as well as a hoard of silverware taken in local Runcorn and District competitions. The club have also entered the F.A. Vase and Cheshire Senior Cup, pitting their skills against much tougher opposition.
