Newbury Football Club are a football club based in Newbury, Berkshire, England. They are currently members of the Thames Valley Premier League Premier Division and play at Faraday Road.

History

Newbury was originally formed in 2002 as the Saturday side for A.F.C. Newbury and entered into the Reading League Division 4, winning it in its debut season. In the next two years, the club had won successive promotions and this culminated in arriving in Division 1 of the Reading League.

With pretty much the same squad, the club then won the Division 1 title and was asked to compete in the Reading Senior league, jumping a division, and having led the league for most of the season, and going 17 games unbeaten, the club finished second in the league on the final day of the season, in game at Cookham Dean in which promotion was secured.

They joined the Hellenic Football League league in 2008 and started in Division one east.[1] Newbury became champions of Division one east in the 2011–12 season and won promotion to the Premier Division.[2]

At the end of the 2014–15 season the club resigned from the Hellenic league for financial reasons and joined the Thames Valley Premier Football League.[3]

Ground

Newbury play their home games at Faraday Road, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 2AD. The club has played at Faraday Road since 1963.[4]
