Westfield Football Club is an amateur football club based in the Westfield area of Woking, England. The club is affiliated to the Surrey County Football Association.[1] They are currently members of the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division.

History

The club was established in 1953, as Westfield Boys Club and started playing in the local Woking and District Football league.[2] During their time in the local leagues the club won the Surrey Junior Charity Cup and the Surrey Junior Cup.[2] After a few seasons the club moved up to the Surrey intermediate leagues.[2]

The club for the 1962–63 season then joined the Parthenon League, now under the name of Westfield and became runners-up at the first attempt.[3] The following season saw the club join the Surrey Senior League.[4] Their ninth season in the Surrey Senior League, 1972–73, saw the club clinch the league title and complete a double success by winning the league cup.[2] Further success followed the next season as they successfully defended the league title.[4] The 1974–75 campaign saw the club make their debut in the FA Vase, where they lost to Chertsey Town, and finish bottom of the league however they did not suffer relegation back to the intermediate leagues.[5]

In 1978 the club became a founder member of the Home Counties League which was then renamed the Combined Counties Football League the following season.[6] The next twenty seven seasons the club stayed in the Combined Counties league, despite finishing bottom three times in this period, during which time they managed to make it to the Concours Challenge Trophy, but lost out to Hartley Wintney in the final.[5][7] This period also saw the club enter the FA Cup for the first time when they met Dorking in the extra preliminary qualifying round, but lost 2–1.[5] The 2005–06 campaign saw the club finish in eleventh place, but they were relegated to Division one as their ground did not meet the criteria to stay in the Premier Division.[8]

The 2011–12 season saw the club make their first cup final for over twenty seasons when they met Warlingham in the Division One Challenge Cup,but lost 4–2.[9]

Ground

Westfield play their home games at Woking Park, Woking, Surrey, GU22 9BA.

The club moved into this ground around 1960, with floddlights being installed in 1998.[10] Major work was done to the ground in the 2010–11 season, which saw the building of a new stand and facilities and the pitch being dug up and raised in May 2011.[10][11]
