Cricklade Town F.C.

History

They were established in 1897 and initially played in the local Sunday league and then the Cirencester and District League.

In the late 1980s the club then joined the Wiltshire Football League. Starting in Division four of the league they gained promotion to Division three after the 1994–95 campaign when they finished third. The 1996–97 season saw the club gain further promotion when they finished as runners-up in Division two, and this was followed by another runners-up spot and promotion the season afterwards, to the newly formed Premier division.

At the end of their third season in the Premier division the club were crowned the 2000–01 champions. Despite this league win the club were denied promotion to the Hellenic Football League due to their ground not meeting the required standards of the league. The following season saw the club finish bottom of the division but they were spared relegation. Two seasons later at the end of the 2004–05 campaign the club finished third, and were promoted to the Hellenic Football League as their application to join the league was successful. The club were placed in Division One West and remained there until the end of their existence.

The club folded just prior to the start of the 2013-14 season.

It was announced in April 2016 via the Hellenic League Website (http://www.hellenicleague.co.uk/) that Cricklade Town had reformed in time for the 2016-17 season and that they will be members of the Wiltshire League.
