Bedfont Football Club is a semi-professional football club in Bedfont, Greater London, England. Affiliated to the Middlesex County Football Association, they are currently members of the Combined Counties League Division One and play at the Orchard.
History
[edit]The club was established in May 2012 as a merger of Bedfont Football & Social Club and Feltham,[2] taking Feltham's place in Division One of the Combined Counties League. The Bedfont Football & Social Club, meanwhile, contained people involved with Bedfont F.C., who were dissolved in 2010. However, as Feltham had already entered the 2012–13 FA Vase under their name, the club played as Feltham F.C. until being renamed Bedfont & Feltham at the start of the 2013–14 season.[2] That season saw them win the Middlesex Premier Cup, beating Staines Lammas 1–0 in the final.[2]
In 2014–15 the club won the Division One Challenge Cup, beating Worcester Park 4–3 on penalties in the final.[2] The following season saw then finish as runners-up in Division One,[3] earning promotion to the Premier Division. However they were relegated back to Division One at the end of the 2016–17 season. At the end of the 2021–22 season, the club was renamed Bedfont Football Club.
