CB Hounslow United Football Club is a football club based in Hounslow, Greater London, England. Affiliated to the Middlesex County Football Association,[2] they are currently members of the Combined Counties League Premier Division and play at Green Lane.

History

The club was formed in 1989 after Richmond Rangers disbanded,[3] and were named after Cater Bank, a company owned by the father of the club chairman and also the club's sponsors.[2] They initially played in the Hounslow & District League,[2] before joining the Senior Division of the Middlesex County League in 1997.[4] After finishing fourth in 1998–99, the club were promoted to the Premier Division.[4] They were runners-up in 2004–05 and again in 2005–06,[5] after which they successfully applied for promotion to Division One of the Combined Counties League.

In 2015–16 the club won Division One, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[6]

Ground

The club originally played at the Osterley Sports Club, before starting to groundshare at Bedfont & Feltham's Orchard ground in 2013–14 while a new ground at Green Lane was being built at a cost of £1.5m.[7][8] The site had previously been five unused football pitches and was replaced by a ground including a seated stand on one side of the pitch, a covered area behind one goal and a clubhouse.[9] The first match at the new ground was an FA Cup extra-preliminary round tie against Rusthall on 8 August 2017 with the home team winning 2–1.[9]
