Binfield F.C.
- based
in Binfield, near Bracknell, Berkshire in England. They
are currently members of the Hellenic Football League
Premier Division.
Established in 1892, the club played their early days in
the Ascot and District League, and moved to the Reading
and District League in 1950. After almost forty years in
that league, they entered the Chiltonian League Division
One in 1989, and promptly won the title in their first
year gaining promotion to the Premier Division. Their
biggest success was winning the Chiltonian League
Championship in 1996. When the Chiltonian League merged
with the Hellenic League in 2000, Binfield joined the
expanded competition and have been members of Division
One East ever since. The 2008-09 season was their most
successful in their history, winning the Hellenic
Football League Division One East and gaining promotion
to the Premier Division. This beating their previous
highest finishing position of fifth, which was achieved
in both the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons.
The club moved to their current Stubbs Lane ground in
1980, after having previously shared facilities with the
local cricket club at Forest Road. With Bracknell Forest
District Council having granted planning permission for
floodlights, Binfield have put together a ground that
has the necessary facilities for entry into the FA Vase,
which they debuted in 2008-09 season.
On 15th August 2009, Binfield played their first ever FA
Cup game losing 5-3 at home to Colliers Wood United.
