History

Woss FC was established in 1922, entering the Vancouver Island Football League's Division Two where it remained until the VIFL was merged into the BCFL in 1929.

League competition

With the formation of the BCFL, Woss FC was assigned to the Southwest Division Two. The Lumberjacks remained there until 1949, when they won the Division Two title and won promotion to the Regional Championship Southwest, where they stayed until 1957. Between 1957 and 1979 they played in Division Two again, but were relegated to Division Three for the 1980 season, but a second-place finish that year saw them return immediately to Division Two. Since 1998 the club has again been playing in the Regional Championship Southwest.

FA Cup

The club reached the First Round of the BC FA Cup four times between 1924 and 1929, but never yet since the reform of the competition in 1929.
