Alcester Town F.C.

The club was established after World War I under the name Alcester Old Boys, as a team for former pupils of Alcester Grammar School.[1] In 1927 they joined Division One of the Stratford League and were renamed Alcester Juniors.[1] In the 1950s the club adopted their current name.[1] They joined the Eastern Division of the Warwickshire Combination in 1962,[2] where they played for three seasons before transferring to Division Two of the Worcestershire Combination in 1965.[3] The league renamed the Midland Combination three years later. In 1971–72 the club were Division Two runners-up, but were not promoted to Division One.[4] Division Two was renamed Division One in 1983.[5]

Alcester were relegated to Division Two at the end of the 1988–89 season. They were promoted back to Division One after finishing as runners-up in Division Two the following season, and went on to win the Division One title in 1990–91, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[5] However, after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 1992–93, the club folded as they were unable to bring their ground up to the requirements of the league.[5]

The club was re-established in 2007, joining the Stratford Alliance.[1] They were Division Three champions in 2008–09 and were promoted to the Premier Division by 2011. After winning the Premier Division title in 2011–12,[6] the club rejoined the Midland Combination, entering Division Two. When the league merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League in 2014, they were placed in Division Three.[5] The club were Division Three champions in 2018–19, earning promotion to Division Two.

The club originally played on a pitch next to Spittle Brook, before moving to one on Bleachfield Street in an area that was known as the 'Soccer Beds'.[1] By the 1950s they had relocated to Stratford Road.[1]
