History


Historic club

The first club was founded as Yiewsley F.C. in 1872 after a meeting of eight local businessmen who met at the instigation of Freddie Clinch, a baker of Fairfield Road, Yiewsley who provided the majority of the financial backing for the venture. In the late 1880s and 1890 Yiewsley was fielding two teams, Yiewsley Star and Yiewsley Unity. They were competing in local games and in the West Middlesex Cup and Berks and Bucks Junior Cup. By the 1891–92 season Yiewsley Star were the only Yiewsley team playing matches. In the 1893–94 season Yiewsley Star were renamed Yiewsley F.C and continued competing in local games and in the West Middlesex Cup. In the 1904–05 season Yiewsley were runners up in the Uxbridge and District Junior League. Yiewsley entered the

competition for the first time in the 1908–09 season. Having received a bye in the preliminary round after the withdrawal of Reading Amateurs, Yiewsley were defeated in the first round 2–1 at home by Aylesbury United on 3 October 1908. In the 1911–12 season Yiewsley were undefeated winners of the Uxbridge Junior League and Uxbridge and District League Cup winners. At the start of the 1912–13 season they were playing at Sutton Meadow, Edgar Road, Yiewsley. By early November 1912 the ground had been renamed Star Meadow. At the end of the 1913–14 season Yiewsley were celebrating being 1912–13 and 1913–14 champions of the West Middlesex League and the Hounslow and District League. This, Yiewsley's first golden period, ended that summer with the coming of the

in front of 700 spectators. In August 1920 Yiewsley transferred its home ground from Edgar Road to Trout Lane, but retained the name 'Star Meadow' for the new ground. A trial 'Stripes v Sashes' charity game took place on 21 August 1920 and a friendly game against Arabian United took place on 28 August. Yiewsley's first league game at the new Star Meadow took place on 11 September 1920 in the Great Western Suburban League First Division against the 1st Grenadier Guards, ending in a 1–1 draw. The 1920s proved to be a period of significant financial instability for Yiewsley. In February 1922 the Great Western Suburban League granted Yiewsley a loan of £20 to help with their debts, in particular their ground rent. At Yiewsley's annual meeting on 20 June 1923 it was reported that the football club ended the 1922–23 season just over £54 in debt. Despite their financial difficulties Yiewsley were able to finish runners-up in the Great Western Suburban League in the 1924–25 season. However Yiewsley ended the 1925–26 season with total receipts of only £325. In the 1926–27 season Yiewsley were admitted into the

Division II but by the November were in financial difficulties and withdrew from the league. After the 1926 collapse Yiewsley returned to junior football, joining the Uxbridge and District League Division III in the 1927–28 season as Yiewsley Juniors. In the next season 1928–29 they finished as Division I champions. In the 1929–30 season Yiewsley Juniors played in both the Uxbridge and District Division I and the Great Western Suburban League. In the 1930–31 season Yiewsley changed their name to Yiewsley and West Drayton F.C. in honour of the recently created Yiewsley and West Drayton Urban District, finishing as runners-up in the Uxbridge and District League Division I. In the next season 1931–32 they won the Uxbridge and District Premier League and Premier Cup. Yiewsley (and West Drayton) returned to Star Meadow, Trout Lane, at the start of the 1933–34 season after a six-season absence playing home games on local recreational fields. They had joined the South-West Middlesex League Intermediate Division B and played their first home game of the season against N.P.L. on 21 October 1933, winning 7–1. Yiewsley and West Drayton finished the 1933–34 season as league champions and winners of the Intermediate Cup. In the 1934–35 season the club's name reverted to Yiewsley F.C. Having gained promotion in the previous season, they played in the Premier Division of the South-West Middlesex League. The 1935–36 season saw Yiewsley's last game at Star Meadow which took place on 18 April 1936 with a 10–1 win against F.G. Minter's. For the 1936–37 season Yiewsley's new ground was on the Evelyn's estate, Falling Lane, where they were granted a 21-year lease. To mark the change Yiewsley reverted to their old colours of dark and light blue instead of black and white. Ten to twelve thousand people attended the Evelyn's Stadium opening ceremony and fete which took place on 22 August 1936. The first game of the 1936–37 season took place at Evelyn's on 29 August 1936 against Hayesco II in the South-West Middlesex Premier League, resulting in a 4–0 win. Yiewsley won the league and the Intermediate Cup that season and the next, winning the 1937–38 season by a clear eight points. In the 1938–39 season Yiewsley competed in the South-West Middlesex Premier League and the newly created Middlesex County League, winning the Middlesex County League Senior Cup 1-0 against Deerfield and West Hendon on 3 May 1939. In the 1939–40 season Yiewsley attempted to play in the Spartan League Division II for the second time. They started the season with two away wins beating Apsley Reserves 8–4 on 26 August and Harrow Town 4–2 on 30 August before the league was abandoned at the start of the

. For the 1940–41 season the league was renamed the Middlesex Senior League. However Yiewsley tendered its resignation from the league on 9 September 1940 because of being unable to field a competitive team, as players and supporters were working weekends as part of the war effort. In the 1941–42 to 1943–44 seasons Yiewsley were able to field a team in the Middlesex Senior league and in the 1944–45 season also competed in the Great Western Combination League. In 1945–46 Yiewsley were finally successful in completing a season in the Spartan League. They competed in Diversion 1 Western Section, opening the season at Aylesbury on 15 September 1945 with a 5–3 defeat. Having finished runners-up in the 1948–49 season, in the 1949–50 season Yiewsley finished winners of the league, gaining promotion to the Spartan League Premier Division. They followed this by going on to win the championship play-off game against the Eastern Section winners Hertford Town 6–1. In the following 1950–51 season they won the Spartan Premier Division at the first attempt, clinching the title with a 2–1 win at Aylesbury, who finished the season in third place. In March 1951 Yiewsley were one of the 14 clubs who founded the Delphian League which was to commence from the following 1951–52 season. Yiewsley's first game in the new league took place on 18 August against

, opening the season with a 1–0 win against Edgware Town on 21 August at their new ground, Leas Stadium in front of 2,600 spectators. Yiewsley had wanted a new ground for several years due to the limited facilities at the leased Evelyn's Stadium. In early 1946 a site was purchased. A Yiewsley F.C. 'New Ground Fund' was established to pay for the purchasing loan with many local individuals and businesses contributing. A 'Sports and Fete day' took place at Evelyn's on 23 July 1946 raising £320 for the fund. This brought the total raised to £600 towards a target of £1000. However it wasn't until the 1951–52 season that work began on the site of Leas Stadium. It was situated west of Evelyn's along Falling Lane and was named after a house there called 'The Leas'. Construction of the 10,000 capacity stadium took three years to complete at a cost of £7000. Yiewsley topped the Corinthian League in their third season, 1956–57. In the
