History


Eversley FC was originally formed in 1910, but returned to play in Eversley Village in 2008 after unfortunately being without a ground to call home. Eversley FC were a founder of the Surrey Elite Intermediate League, with the Boars becoming Champions in the 2008-9 season (on goal difference). The following season, Eversley joined the Combined Counties League in Division One, finishing mid-table in their first season.

California Youth Football Club was formed in 1975 when a group of parents brought together an Under 8’s team based in the California area of Finchampstead, Berkshire. The Club has grown, expanding to become one of the largest youth football clubs in the area and is now providing foundation and youth football for all age groups. In the year 2000, California became the first Berks & Bucks FA affiliated club in the area to be awarded the FA Charter status, also winning the South of England FA Charter Merit Award in 2002; it is currently an FA Charter Development Club. California Youth FC established strong links with Eversley FC and in 2012 the two clubs merged to form Eversley & California Football Club moving to Fox Lane, where we play our games today. The Club is now providing football coaching and matches for all ages and abilities. The Youth section runs an annual tournament supported by teams from far afield, soccer schools for children aged 5 and under whilst also running holiday soccer camps.

Playing in the CCL in recent seasons, the 2012/13 season saw the Boars finish in second place, but due to ground grading requirements were prevented from moving up to the CCL Premier Division. Since then E&CFC have consistently finished in the top half of the division, only missing out on promotion narrowly in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons.

Since 2017/18, we have developed a defined player pathway, squad structure that allows youth team players from the junior section U16s upwards to train together with Reserve and First Team players, enabling a consistent style of coaching and play throughout the club.

The Adult Section of Eversley & California FC now consists of the Mens First Team, Mens Reserves, Ladies First Team, Ladies Reserves, VETs and the Sunday Team, as of the 2021/22 season.
