History

Inkberrow FC was formed in 1978, initially providing senior men's football and playing from the Inkberrow playing fields. [1] In 2016, the club entered the Stratford Alliance League as Inkberrow Colts. In 2019, the club joined the Midland League but were required to form as a separate club to the wider Inkberrow FC, due to an Inkberrow already competing in the league setup. The club chose to adopt the name of the wider charity the club is associated to, and adopted the original playing colours of the founding team of 1978. After a season in the system and winning Division Four of the Midland Football League, the club joined the Hellenic League Division Two West in 2020 where they again won the league at their first attempt. In 2021, Sporting Club Inkberrow joined the Herefordshire Football League, winning the Premier Division at the end of the season. [2]

In 2023, the club was admitted into the Hellenic League Division One, marking the first time an Inkberrow team became part of the football pyramid, entering at step 6. [3] In their first season at this level, Inkberrow reached the play-off final after beating Clanfield Football Club 3-0 in the semi-final, but lost to play-off winners Malmesbury Victoria 2-1. Despite this, Inkberrow were still promoted to the Hellenic Premier division for the 24/25 season.

Ground

The club currently play at Sands Road in Inkberrow, [4] where Sir Bobby Robson officially launched the clubs new facilities in 2008[5].
