Clanfield F.C. is an association football club in Clanfield, near Carterton, England. The club is affiliated to the Oxfordshire County Football Association For the 2013–14 season they are in Hellenic Football League Division One West. It should not be confused with Clanfield (Hampshire) F.C. which plays in the Hampshire Premier League. ==History== There is evidence that the club was formed in 1890 and played on a field near Chestlion Farm, before moving to a pitch in the mid twentieth century near Faringdon road. The club joined the North Berks Football League for the 1924–25 season, and finishing as winners of Division 2 (Faringdon) at their first attempt. They stayed in the North Berks league for another season and then left. In the 1967–68 the club joined the Hellenic Football League starting in Division one. Two seasons later they gained promotion to the Premier Division, as champions of division one. They then spent the next ten years in the Premier Division, during which time they made their debut in the FA Vase, finishing runners-up twice before being relegated back to Division one at the end of the 1979–80 season.〔 However it just took them one season to gain promotion when they finished as Runners-up in Division one in the 1980–81 season.〔 At the end of the 1984–85 season the club finished bottonm of the Premier division, and the club had to be reformed in April of that season, with a new official name of Clanfield (April 1985) Football Club. The reformed club took over from Clanfields place in the Hellenic league and started the 1985–86 season in Division one.〔 The club has since then remained in Division one of the Hellenic league, being placed in Division one West when the league was restructured for the 2000–01 season.〔 During the course of the 2005/2006 season floodlights were installed at the ground allowing the club access to the league's floodlight cup competition, further ground enhancements have seen new dug-outs and seats in the main stand. The 2010–11 season saw the club make their debut in the FA Cup losing to Fareham Town in their first ever game in the extra preliminary qualification round. This season also saw the club finish a very creditable fourth place in Division One West, just three points from a second-place finish and subsequent promotion to the Premier Division. In the following seasons since they have finished 8th, 11th, 5th and last season 2014/15 in 9th. A series of further ground improvement works are currently ongoing and being undertaken by some very hard working volunteers, these include fencing and a concrete walkway around the ground. Dressing room improvements are in the pipeline too making the Radcot Road ground an even more attractive setting in this tiny West Oxfordshire village. This current pre-season 2015/16 saw the club host National Conference outfit Eastleigh on the 9th of July, with the professional side running out 4-0 winners. A good evening was enjoyed by all in attendance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clanfield F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
