Whitecroft & Barton Sports F.C. are a long running amateur football club based in Whitecroft, Isle of Wight.
The club are affiliated to the Hampshire Football Association and comprises two adult teams playing in the Isle of Wight League.
The club were formed in 1983 with the amalgamation of local rivals Whitecroft and Barton Sports, both of whom were long standing members of the Isle of Wight League and were playing each other in Division 1 at the time. [1]
An early success came in 1986 when they won the title. The club remained in the top-flight for many years until relegation in 2010. [2]
Since returning as Division 2 champions in 2014, Whitecroft & Barton proceeded to win the Division 1 title five years running. [3] The 2016–17 season was a memorable one as they completed the treble after also winning the Isle of Wight Challenge Cup and Hampshire Intermediate Cup, after surprisingly defeating higher division Locks Heath 3-0 in the final.
Whitecroft & Barton Sports remain regular title contenders, and were champions again in 2024 and 2025. [4]
Whitecroft & Barton Sports play at Sandy Lane, Whitecroft, Isle of Wight, PO30 3EA. The ground is enclosed with a clubhouse and stand for spectators. [9]
Whitecroft & Barton Sports enjoy long running rivalry with several local clubs, but West Wight, with whom they closely contest the league title are regarded as their main rivals. [10]
