Having
been formed in 1903 by the amalgamation of Whitchurch Rovers & Whitchurch
Albion they have maintained competitive football consecutively,
and in 1958 successfully applied to join the Hampshire League
Div 3 where they finished 10th.
In
1966/67 they gained promotion to Div 2, were relegated in 1968/69,
but once more achieved promotion in 1971/72. 1989/90
saw them crowned
as champions of Div 2 and after two good seasons in Div 1 they
successfully ‘spread
their wings’ into the Jewson Wessex League in 1992.
After
a tough season in 1993 they dropped back into the Hampshire
League once more, but made a quick return to the Wessex League
where
they still play today. In 1996/97 they won the Basingstoke
Senior Open
Cup.
A reserve side was formed during the early days, playing in
the Basingstoke League initially, but now playing in the Wessex
Combination.
In
2000 a decision was made to form an ‘A’ side taken
mainly from the successful U16’s and U15’s youth teams,
and they joined the Andover & District League Div 2
finishing 4th in their first season gaining promotion to
Div 1 the
following season where they remain today.
