History

Purton Football Club was established in 1924. They played in the FA Cup in the six seasons preceding the Second World War, but never advanced further than the Preliminary Round. They joined the Hellenic Football League Division One in 1986 and won that division in 1995–96. After some league restructuring, they were placed in Division One West which they also won in 2003–04, but on neither occasion was the team promoted to the Premier Division due to not meeting the relevant ground criteria (primarily regarding floodlights). They will play the 2018/19 season in the Wiltshire Senior League with Liam Lewis as first team manager.[1]

Ground

Purton play their home games at The Red House, Purton, Wiltshire, SN5 4DY.
