the Hampshire Chronicle on 19th March 1898, between Alresford and
Cheriton. Alresford won 1-0
During the 90 years that followed a number of
names were recorded as teams playing in Alresford :-
Alresford Red Star, Alresford Evening
Constitution, Alresford Football Club, Alresford Rovers, and in
the 30's a team located at the Bell called "The Linnets"
In recent times a club was reformed in 1987 at
the present location at Alrebury Park. The team was entered into
the Winchester League Division 2. Players seeing the potential of
the club signed up and we won the division and then went on to win
the Division 1 title, progressing to the North Hants League
