Formed in 1938, they operated with considerable success as first-class Juveniles during their first seven seasons, winning the Scottish Juvenile Cup twice in succession (1944–45 and 1945–46).[2] In 1946, Dundonald turned Junior and soon became one of Fife's foremost clubs, winning the league championship on three occasions in the 1950s.
Season 2013–14 was a memorable one for the club as they gained promotion back to the East Premier League by finishing runners up in the East Region South League and also made the Scottish Junior Cup quarter-finals for the first time in their history, losing to eventual winners Hurlford United.
Two years later Bluebell won promotion to the East Superleague by finishing runners-up to Jeanfield Swifts in the 2015–16 East Premier League.[3] The club also reached the final of the East of Scotland Cup in the same season, losing to Bo'ness United.[4] Manager Craig Morrison left the club in the summer of 2016 to be replaced by Stevie Kay.[5]
