The team was established in 1998, when a group of football playing friends who drink together in the Orsett Hospital Social club decided to organise themselves properly and join the Circus Tavern Sunday League. On joining the 7th Division the team quickly built up a regular following of friends, parents and other interested parties, who are still watching them play today, plus many more. The 1998/99 season ended with promotion to Division 6 and very nearly some silverware in the form of the League Cup in a close final against Circus Tavern. A good first season which was a tribute to the then coach John Pipe and several others who have since become only supporters, but still play their part from the side line. In the second season Lenny Warwick, the owner of 'Cranegate' the team sponsors, took over the management of the team and brought in his friend Fonzy, an ex pro himself, to coach the lads. Along with some new players and a renewed hunger for victory, generally in the team, the second season seemed to be the turning point for Ohssc football club. At last the Circus Tavern (Orsett's division 7 bogey opposition) were beaten 3-0, the game named by many as their favourite for the club. Following this victory Orsett went from strength to strength, dispite Oliver Sanders suffering a broken leg, reaching the division Cup final only to loose out narrowly to Blackthorn , but kept fighting in the league and with a better goal difference became the 1999/2000 Division 6 League Champions. Naturally Orsett gained promotion to Division 3 which was split in two, Orsett being entered in 3B, where they remained for a second season, but with new signings and added commitment, the future looks bright, the future looks ORSETT!!
