Corsham Town Football Club

A Brief History

Corsham Town Football Club can trace its roots back to 1878, with affiliation to the Football Association following in 1893. The club quickly made its mark, becoming inaugural champions of the Wiltshire County Football League in 1894, winning the title on goal average.

Nicknamed “The Quarrymen” due to Corsham’s strong quarrying heritage, the club spent over a century (1894–1997) competing in the Wiltshire County League before earning promotion to the Western League Division One in 1997/98.

Significant progress followed in the 2000s. Major ground improvements in 2001 ensured compliance with FA grading standards, and promotion to the Western League Premier Division came in 2004/05. The highlight arrived in 2006/07, when Corsham Town were crowned Western League Premier Division champions, alongside a third consecutive Wiltshire Senior Cup victory.

A new era began in 2020/21 under manager Kieran Baggs, though the season was curtailed by the Covid pandemic. FA restructuring led to promotion to the Hellenic League Premier Division, where the club continued to thrive - finishing 5th in 2021/22 and reaching the Wiltshire Premier Shield final.

The 2022/23 season proved historic, with Corsham reaching the FA Vase semi-final, narrowly losing on penalties in front of a record crowd of 1,736, and finishing 3rd in the league. A 2nd-place league finish followed in 2023/24, along with Hellenic Challenge Cup success.

In July 2024, a new management team of Marvin Brown and Ashley Morgan was appointed. The 2024/25 season focused on stability, resulting in a solid mid-table finish and laying foundations for the future.
