British Timken Athletic was formed in 1961 and joined the United Counties League Division Two during the 1961âÂÂ62 season, where they finished as league runners-up. They then won the league in the following season to secure promotion to the United Counties League Division One, which they were later relegated from during the 1966âÂÂ67 season.
