| LAVERSTOCK & FORD HISTORY |
Established in 1956, Laverstock & Ford Football Club have always been a force in local football. In that opening season we came runners up in Salisbury & District league 3B and, of course, promotion to Salisbury & District Division 2. Unfortunately we were relegated in 1961-62 but during that season regained promotion back to Division 2 and were runners up in the Heseltine Cup. In 1962-63 we were again runners up, this time in Division 2 which gained us promotion to Salisbury & District Division 1 whereupon we came runners up in 1963-64, maintaining top positions in that league until 1969-70. In 1970-71 Laverstock & Ford FC won Division 1 and the following
year came runners up and won the Morrison Cup. 1972-73 saw another
blip being relegated to Division 2 where we remained for some 9
seasons, winning the Wiltshire Junior Cup and the Heseltine Cup
along the way. In 1982-83 we were playing in Division 1 once again
and in 1984–85 the club entered the Salisbury & District
Premier league where we finished runners up and also won the Stonehenge
Cup. Between 1985 and 1991 the Club participated in the Wiltshire League, gaining promotion to Division 1, but being relegated in 1989 to Division 2. In 1991-92 we returned to Salisbury & District Premier League and finished 6th and the following year we entered into the Hampshire League where we remained for one season, returning to Salisbury & District Premier in 1993-94. Between 1993 and 1999 the Club achieved success in the Morrison Cup (2 years running), the Riley Cup and were Premier League Cup Winners twice. 1999-2000 saw us re-enter the Hampshire League again. During that season, we played in Hampshire Division 2, with a reserve side in Combination 1, we won the Wiltshire Junior Cup again in 2000. 2001-02 saw the senior side narrowly miss out on promotion from Hampshire League Division 2 but achieve a remarkable series of victories in the Hospital Cup, beating Salisbury City and Shrewton United before succumbing to Bemerton Heath Harlequins in the final. 2002-03 we won the Bledisloe Cup and were champions of Hampshire Division 2. 2003-04 saw us regain the Bledisloe Cup, win the Stokes Cup and came 11th in Hampshire Division 1. In 2004-05 we joined the Sydenham
Wessex League Division 3, finishing a disappointing 11th in our first season.
In 2005-06 we finshed runners-up in Division 3, and with the reshapping
of the Sydenham Wessex League were promoted to Divison 1. In 2006-07
in our
first season
in Divison 1 we finished a disappointing 12th. The 2007-08 season saw a
vast improvement, we reached the Wiltshire Senior Cup Final for
the first time
in the clubs history and were promoted to the Wessex Premier
League after coming
runners up. Off the pitch in 2005-06 we played our first match under floodlights at
Church Road. In 2006-07 we completed the hardstanding around the pitch. In 2007-08 we erected our 114 seater stands and bought the rest of the facilities up to the required ground grading requirements for the Wessex Premier League. 2008-9 saw us compete in the Wessex Premier League for the first time, finishing 20th. Wessex League positions: 2004—05 Wessex
Division 3 (11th)
