About us

Fifty years on from a rented pitch and a handful of players

What started as a small group of friends playing on a rented pitch has grown into a club with junior sections, senior men's and women's teams, walking football and a busy social side. Throughout that growth the club has stayed focused on being genuinely open to anyone who wants to take part.

The club is run almost entirely by volunteers, from coaches and committee members to parents who help with matchday teas and fundraising. That volunteer effort keeps membership costs low and means the club can offer reduced rates for families and young people.

What our customers say

★★★★★

My son has been coming to junior training since he was six and the coaches know every single kid by name. It is exactly the kind of club you want your children involved with.

Walking football got me out of the house twice a week after my operation and I have made proper mates through it, not just training partners.

I only joined as a social member for the bar but I end up helping at every home match now. It is a proper community club, not just a football team.
