Concord Rangers originated from a team of boys headed by Steve Lant. They played friendly matches during 1966 on a pitch along the Canvey Island seafront close to the Concord Beach hence the name Concord Rangers and the nickname The Beach Boys.

Saturday football was introduced to the club when Concord joined the Mid Essex League and played their home games at Waterside Farm on Canvey Island.

1985 Concord secured some land at Thames Road, Canvey Island, the club developed the clubhouse and ground with Jack Smith, current club treasurer being the mastermind behind the project, he organised the funds, labour and materials and worked many hours himself on the site. A special mention goes to the late Clive Smith (Jack’s brother) without Clive’s machinery and labour Concord’s pitch would not exist also Martin Gill, Steve Barnes, Brian Godfrey, Lee and John Slater, Rob Fletcher (Electrics) all contributed.

Concord also reached the Qtr-final of the FA Vase this season before losing 1 – 0 to Lowestoft Town who went on to reach the final which was played at Wembley Stadium.
Club President, Albert Lant won an outstanding achievement award from the Essex County Football Association for 40 years unbroken service to Concord Rangers.

2008-2009 Having gained promotion from the Essex Senior League we would have been happy with a mid table position at the end of our first season in the Ryman League Div 1 Nth. The Management team of Danny Scopes and Danny Cowley managed to get the best out of our players and we achieved a Play-off position having finished 5th. We then went on to beat East Thurrock Utd, who had finished in 2nd spot 1- 0 in the Play – off semi-final, Danny Heale scored a magnificent goal to put us through to the final and play Waltham Abbey. Concord were only 10 minutes away from playing in the Ryman Premier League this season having gone one up through Fabien Batchelor but Waltham Abbey’s Harry Elmes scored in the 80th minute to take the game to penalties which we finally lost out 5 – 4.

2009-2010 Concord win the Ryman League Div 1 Nth Play-Off final 3-1 against Enfield Town to gain promotion the Ryman Premier Division.

2010-2011 Concord had a very good first season in the Ryman Premier Division, finishing in 8th position, our aim at the start of the season was to avoid relegation therefore reaching a respectful 8th spot and just missing out on a Play-Off position by two points was a great team effort.

2011-2012 After a poor start to the season with some key players unavailable due to injuries, Concord did not manage to play their normal style of football for several months into the season and finally finished in 14th position.

2012-2013 After another relatively poor start to the season Concord soon found their form. With a fantastic away record and a never known when beaten attitude Concord found themselves in the Ryman Premier Play Offs and the Ryman League Cup Final…2 fantastic away performances in the play offs saw us promoted to the highest level of football we have played and a great performance in the cup final saw us end the season with 2 trophies.

2013-2014 The Beachboys lost their first Conference South fixture, however were soon picking up points on a regular basis with detemrined and professional performances against some of the biggest teams at this level. Although there were a couple of harsh results, there was a level of consistency many didnt expect to see against Conference South opposition, This helped Concord reach what was a spectacular 9th place finish by seasons end. To cap it all off, The Beachboys were able to win the Essex Senior Cup against Braintree as the football season came to a close.
