Warmley F.C.

Warmley F.C.

Warmley F.C. was a football club based in Warmley, near Kingswood, England.

They were one of the founding members of the Bristol & District League (now the Western Football League) in 1892, winning the title four times in their history.

In 1896, Warmley joined the Second Division of the Southern League, before both Bristol City and Rovers. The 1897-98 season saw it finishing in second place to Royal Artillery (forerunners to Portsmouth) in the process becoming the first team in the Southern League to score 100 goals in a season.

The club now competed in the First Division alongside other Bristol sides City and Bedminster. Only seven matches were completed before the club folded in February 1899.

A new club formed and entered the Western League again in 1903. The club resigned in the 1904-05 season and its season record was expunged.
