Falmouth Town A.F.C.

The club was established in 1949 and joined the Cornwall Senior League for the 1950–51 season. In 1951 they were founder members of the South Western League. They finished bottom of the league in 1952–53 and again in 1954–55, but won their first trophy in 1957–58, beating Newquay 1–0 in the League Cup final. In 1964–65 the club missed out on a second league title by one point after being deducted two points. At the start of the following season the club won the league's Charity Bowl with a 2–1 win over Plymouth Parkway. Following league reorganisation at the end of the 2018–19 season, Falmouth were placed in the Premier Division West. In 2021–22 they won the Cornwall Senior Cup and were Premier Division West champions. This earned promotion to the Premier Division of the Western League after a forty-year absence. In 2023–24 they won the Cornwall Senior Cup again, and were Premier Division runners-up to Helston Athletic, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating Barnstaple Town 3–1 in the semi-finals, Falmouth defeated Clevedon Town 2–0 in the final to secure promotion to Division One South of the Southern League for the first time in their history. ==Ground==

The club initially played at the Recreation Ground, before moving to Union Corner when they joined the South Western League. Shortly afterwards the club bought two fields at Ashfield, where a new ground was built. However, this was soon sold to Shell-Mex & BP for £20,000, with the club moving back to Union Corner for a season in 1956. The money allowed them to build a new ground at Bickland Park, which opened in August 1957 with Newquay the first visitors. In the early 1960s the club played a home game at Falmouth Docks' Mongleath/Boslowick as Bickland Park was being used for a Cornwall FA match. Bickland Park has covered stands on all four sides of the ground, with the main stand on one side of the pitch set into banking. The other three sides of the ground have covered standing areas. Floodlights were installed in 1973, although their first use was on 10 April 1974 for a match against Porthleven. ==Honours==
