BRADING TOWN - CLUB HISTORY
A football Club was formed in Brading in 1871 when the games were played at the Vicarage field and Beech Grove. The Club joined the Isle of Wight League on its formation in 1898.
During the 1920's and 1930's the Club mainly played in the Isle of Wight 2nd Division and managed to win the title on a number of occasions. In 1948 promotion was gained to Division 1 of the Island League, which preceded what was to become one of the most successful era's in the club's history.
During the 1950's the club won the Division 1 Championship for a record eight consecutive years and won the isle of Wight Challenge, Memorial and Jubilee Cups. All of the players lived in the village of Brading, and huge crowds would follow the team. For Cup Finals at Church Litten in Newport, up to nine coach loads of supporters would leave Brading to cheer them on.
In 1973 the Club joined the Hampshire League in Division 4. This was the start of another successful period. Promotion was gained in three successive years and in 1975-76 the club won Hampshire League Division 2 and also lifted the Hampshire Intermediate Cup. This was the third time in five years that this trophy had been won. During the 1976-77 season the club also won the prestigious Isle of Wight Gold Cup by defeating East Cowes Vics 4-2 in a replay in front of a large crowd at the Partlands ground, home of Ryde Sports. In 1977-78 the club finished a creditable 4th place in a very strong Hampshire League Division 1 in its first season at that level.
During the 1980's Brading Town became an established Hampshire League outfit. Unfortunately the Club lost its place in the 1st Division following relegation in 1992. However, the Club regained their top flight status again by finishing runners-up to Portsmouth based Mayflower in 1997-98. Between 1997 and 2000 the Club reached three consecutive Isle of Wight Senior Cup Finals. On each occasion old rivals Newport defeated the Club.
After finishing in 5th place in the Hampshire Premier League in 2001, the Club went through a difficult period when the manager and most of the players decided to leave. The following season the Club fnished 4th from bottom and in 2004 finished bottom, gaining just eight points. During this period however, the Club managed to improve its financial position and made improvements to its picturesque Vicarage Lane ground. Despite finishing bottom of the League, the Club applied and joined the newly formed Wessex League Division 2 for the 2004-05 season.
Fortunes on the pitch have turned around hugely over the past two years. Last year was the most impressive in the Club's history with all threesides enjoying success. The young A team were Champions of the Isle of Wight Combination Division 2. The Reserves lifted the Isle of Wight Junior A Trophy and also gained promotion by finishing as runners-up in the Isle of Wight Division2. The first team won the isle of Wight Gold Cup for the first time in 30 years by beating East Cowes Vics in a thrilling final at St Georges Park in Newport, winning the game 3-2. The first team also finished 3rd in the Wessex League Division 2 behind Locks Heath and Hayling United. Having made such huge strides on the pitch and to our facilities off the pitch, we are delighted to be promoted to the newly named Wessex Premier League for the forthcoming season.

FARNBOROUGH NORTH END - CLUB HISTORY
Farnborough North End came into existence on 11th May 1998 when Covies FC changed their name in order to avoid any confusion with the youth organisation of the same name and to identify themselves with the area they were about to move into in Farnborough (the 'north end' of Farnborough)

Originally formed as Farnborough Covenanters FC in 1967 by Keith Elliott of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Sand Hill, Hawley Estate, the Club was entered into the Woking and District League. By 1981 the team had become two teams and had progressed through to the top Division winning the Southern Railwayman's Orphanage Cup on the way. The Club's current President,Chairman and Secretary joined in 1974/75.

At the end of this period the Club became separate from the Church Youth Group it came from and changed its name to its nickname 'Covies'. The need to progress took the Club into the next League up where they went into the Surrey Intermediate League (Western) where they competed for nine years gaining promotion to the top Division of both the first and reserve sections and coming runners up in three cups.

The Club has lead a bit of a nomadic existence. In their early years they played at Knellwood, known better by some as King George V playing fields. In their Surrey Intermediate days the Club played at Cove Green and then at Queens Road in North Camp for around 10 years, the former home of Farnborough Town FC. The Club joined the Hampshire League in 1991 and after an initial period of struggle we established ourselves as a County League side. Farnborough Gate, Ringwood Road was the next home from 1998 till early 2005 and this venue served the Club well over its most successful period. We moved to our present home, the Cody Sports and Social Club, Farnborough on 11th February 2005 and look forward to developing this new home to meet the demands of senior football.

After several very successful seasons in the Hampshire League, in 2004 the Hampshire League merged with the Wessex League and North End moved over from Hampshire League Division One to the newly formed Wessex League Division Three. In 2005 North End gained promotion to Division Two of the Wessex League (now known as Division One), Step 6 in the National Pyramid and the season culminated in us winning the 'elusive' Hampshire Intermediate Cup against fellow Division Three side Otterbourne.

GOSPORT BOROUGH - CLUB HISTORY
Sixty years old in 2004, Gosport Borough Athletic Club was founded just two weeks after the D-Day landings in 1944 in an initiative to bring back organised football, athletics, swimming and cycling to the town after a break of several years.In their first season the football section of the club won the Portsmouth & District League Division 1 under the guidance of former Southampton player, Stan Cribb. The line-up at that time included Jimmy Scoular and Peter Harris who both went on to become full internationals.

For their second season, the club was accepted into the Hampshire League and won the Division 1 title at its first attempt. This feat was nor repeated for 31 seasons despite being a major force in Hampshire football during that period.

After winning successive Hampshire League titles in 1976/7 and 1977/8, Gosport were elected to the Southern Football League. In the first 4 seasons, the club never finished outside the top four and when the League restructured for the start of 1982/3, Gosport were placed in the Premier Division.Two years later Gosport lost their Premier Division status and were relegated to the Southern Division. However the team bounced straight back the following season with an incredible run of 16 wins in the final 19 games. In the final match they needed to win to secure promotion and they demolished Salisbury City by 5-0 in front of over 1500 spectators.

In 1987/8 relegation threatened but a run to the Final of the Hampshire Senior Cup lifted spirits. After winning the Final at The Dell, beating Farnborough Town, the team put together a good run of league results and relegation was averted.The club enjoyed its highest ever finish in 1988/9 finishing 7th in the Premier Division. However a mass exodus of players and change of management saw the club relegated to the Southern Division at the end of the next season and 2 years later they were relegated again to the Sydenhams Wessex League. After relegation the then Chairman, Ian Hay, appointed Roger Sherwood as Manager. The club had three good seasons under Sherwood but the only trophy win was the Wessex League Cup in 1992/3.

After Sherwood's departure at the start of the 1995/96 season, the Management Committee undertook a review of the Club's policies. It was decided to commence a period of financial consolidation and re-structuring. Three former Gosport players (John Hawes, Dave Pitt and Barry Cook) took up the running of the team with a new emphasis on forming a team of locally based players and developing an extensive youth policy.

In 1997, Boro' approached Gomer Football Club, a successful youth club to form an affiliation. Not only did it given the senior club the ability to tap into local talent as it emerges through the ranks, but it also gives boys the opportunity to aim for a higher standard of football than they might normally achieve when youth football ended. Nevertheless, Boro's position in the Sydenhams Wessex League continued to deteriorate. Dave Pitt and Barry Cook resigned in October 1999 after a particularly difficult start to the season. John Hawes became Chairman of the Club but resigned from that position after one year to return to his coaching role.During this period, Ian Hay restructured the Club's finances and implemented a new and relatively unique Trustee Scheme which it is hoped will give Gosport Borough a firm financial base for the future. Dave Taviner (another former player) took over as Caretaker Manager until former Reserve Manager Mick Marsh was appointed as the new First Team Manager in December 1999.

At the start of the 2000/01 season, Vice-Chairman John Stimpson was elected to the Chairmanship of the Club. He immediately agreed with Mick Marsh that the Club should continue to develop young local players and also look to include a mix of a few more experienced players in the First Team. Marsh, along with his assistant Gary Lee had five seasons at the helm. In that period the Club's gradual decline was halted and Boro' were once again heading in the right direction. In Marsh's five seasons the club finished in the top four on four occasions and reached the quarter-finals of the FA Vase in 2003/04.

With Marsh retiring from the game at the end of the 2004/05 season to move to Spain, the club appointed John Robson his successor but Robson's tenure only lasted a few months and in December 2005 the Club appointed Alex Pike as first team manager. Alex has the honour of being the Wessex League's most successful manager having won league and league cup honours on several occasions with his teams and also winning the FA Vase with Wimborne Town in 1992.
