History

The club was founded in 1934, but disbanded during World War II. [1] After being reformed in 1956 they joined the Maidenhead & District League. [2] The club later transferred to the Hayes & Giles League. They were Premier Division champions in 1998–99 and again the following season. After winning the league for a third time in 2001–02, [3] they moved up to Division One East of the Hellenic League. In 2010–11 the club were Division One East Champions, earning promotion to the Premier Division. [4] The season also saw them win the league's Floodlight Cup and Challenge Cup. [2]

Despite not finishing in the relegation zone, Holyport were voluntarily demoted to Division One East at the end of the 2014–15 season after their manager left and they were unable to find a replacement. [5] In 2021 the club were promoted to the Premier Division North of the Combined Counties League based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons. In 2023–24 they finished fifth in the Premier Division North, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. The club subsequently lost 4–0 to Rayners Lane in the semi-finals.

Ground

After being reformed in 1956, the club played at Windsor Road in nearby Bray. [2] The club moved to Braywick Park in 1998, [1] before relocating to their current ground, Summerleaze Village, in Maidenhead, in 2005. [2] Floodlights were installed during the 2007–08 season, and three stands later erected. [2]
