Finchampstead Football Club is a football club based in Finchampstead, Berkshire, England. They are currently members of the Thames Valley Premier League Premier Division and play at Memorial Park.
The club was established in 1952 after the creation of Memorial Park allowed a football team to be formed. [1] The club joined the Ascot & District League, winning Division Two in 1954–55. The following season saw them win Division One and move up to Division Two of the Reading & District League. [1] In 1956–57 they were Division Two champions, and after being promoted, they won Division One in 1959–60, earning promotion to the Premier Division. [1] The club were relegated to Division Two during the 1960s, but after winning the division in 1977–78, they were promoted back to Division One and were Division One champions the following season, resulting in promotion back to the Premier Division. [1] They went on to win the league's Premier Division in 1982–83. [2]
After winning the Reading Senior Cup and finishing as Reading & District League Premier Division runners-up in 1986–87, Finchampstead joined the Premier Division of the Chiltonian League, winning it at the first attempt. [2] They were runners-up the following season and again in 1992–93, [2] and won the league's Bon Accord Trophy in 1993–94. [1] In 2000 the league merged into the Hellenic League, with the club becoming members of Division One East. [2] Although they won the division in 2001–02 they were unable to be promoted to the Premier Division as Memorial Park did not have floodlights. [3]
Due to the club's failure to meet the ground grading regulations, Finchampstead's first team left the Hellenic League at the end of the 2016–17 season, dropping into Division One of the Thames Valley Premier League. [4] Despite only finishing fifth in the division in 2018–19, the club were promoted to the Premier Division.
