Draft:Avonmouth F.C.

Avonmouth Football Club is a football club based in Bristol, England. They are currently members of the Gloucestershire County Football League and play at the King George V Recreation Ground, Bristol.

History
Avonmouth Football Club was formed in 1919 under the name of Avonmouth St Andrews, playing their early football in the Bristol Church of England League just off the main road of Avonmouth.

In 1930 they moved to a sports ground built in West Town Road by Philip Napier Miles. Not long after, in 1936, the club moved to the Bristol and District League - winning Division 2 in their first season (1936-37).

Shortly after World War 2 they were allowed to field sides in both the Bristol and District League and Bristol & Suburban League and won the Suburban League Division One title in 1953-54.

In 1967 they found themselves moving ground again, as the construction of the M5 Motorway had demolished their ground at West Town Road. They moved to Canford Park in Westbury-on-Trym, where they stayed until 1986 when they moved to their current ground after Avonmouth Old Boys RFC vacated.

They won the Suburban Premier Division One title in 2006-07 but were unable to get promoted. And, after coming close many times, in the 2022-23 season they got promoted out of the Bristol & Suburban League and into the Gloucestershire County League for the first time in their history, winning the league unbeaten and then earning promotion in a three-team playoff tournament against Hanham Athletic F.C. (also promoted) and Chalford Town F.C.

Ground
The club currently play at the King George V Recreation Ground, in the Avonmouth area of Bristol.
