Timeline
- 1970 / Foundation of a recreational football club in Maffle, a village close to Ath (Aat) in the Province of Hainaut. Joining the so-called Entente Terrienne, a local recreational football association, the new club, which takes on the name Jeunesse Sportive (JS) Maffle, probably played its home matches on the pitch at Chaussée de Mons from the outset.
- 1974 / Four years after its foundation, JS Maffle joins the Belgian Football Association with registration number 8260.
- 1975 / JS Maffle starts its life as a competitive Belgian FA club in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4.

- 1978 / Runaway champions in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4C, 16 points ahead of closest followers JS Isiéroise, JS Maffle wins promotion to Provincial League 3 for the first time.
- 1979 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, JS Maffle drops back into Provincial League 4 after just one season, along with bottom club US Thumaide.
- 1994 / In its last season as an independent club, JS Maffle finishes in fourth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4B. Following the 1993-94 season, the club concludes a merger with P3 club RJS Athoise, resulting in the foundation of Royale Jeunesse Sportive (RJS) Ath-Maffle, with Athoise’s registration number 2899 being retained; JS Maffle’s number 8260 is erased from the Belgian FA’s official lists. First team football of the new Provincial League 3 club moves to Chaussée de Mons in Maffle.
- 1999 / RJS Ath-Maffle finishes as runners-up in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, 3 points behind champions US Thumaide.
- 2002 / Finishing in third place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, RJS Ath-Maffle goes on to win the promotion play-offs, thus acceding to Provincial League 2.
- 2004 / In its last season as an independent club, RJS Ath-Maffle finishes in third place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2A. Following the 2003-04 season, the club concludes a merger with FC Ath Sport (only founded one year previously, in 2003) to form R Géants Athois, with RJS Ath-Maffle’s registration number 2899 being retained; FC Ath Sport’s number 9435 is erased from the Belgian FA’s official lists. First team football moves to Stade des Géants in Ath, making the pitch in Maffle redundant.
- 2008 / Following a request by Provincial League 3 club JS Meslin Grand-Marais from Ollignies (founded in 1998 / registration number 9323) to Ath’s municipal authorities, that club is allowed to move into the former ground of JS Maffle and RJS Ath-Maffle at Chaussée de Mons in Maffle in September 2008. With JS Meslin Grand-Marais moving its first team football to Maffle, the pitch at Chaussée de Florbecq in Ollignies has been retained by the club for lower team football and training purposes until the present day.
- 2009 / Champions in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3A, 6 points ahead of closest rivals FC Brunehaut, JS Meslin Grand-Marais wins promotion to Provincial League 2 for the first time.

- 2022 / Finishing in fourteenth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2A, JS Meslin Grand-Marais drops back into Provincial League 3 along with Péruwelz FC B, ASC Havinnes, and bottom club FC Esplechin.

As such, the club manages a return to Provincial League 2 after an absence of three years.
- 2028 (projected) / The pitch in Maffle will have to be abandoned by JS Meslin Grand-Marais, as its owner has other plans with the pitch. By that time, the club will have to find a different solution - with the hope being that it can move back to its origins in Meslin-l'Évêque.
