Gwinear Churchtown Football Club was founded in 1993 by Roland Thomas, Paul Ash and the late Chris 'Kenny' Daniels with the sole aim of giving the young people of the community something to keep them occupied each week.
In order for the fooball club to work, it had to enlist help from various areas around the community. Many months of hard work took place, including taking apart a cornish hedge and rebuilding it, transforming a farmers field in to a football pitch and renovating out buildings in to changing rooms. All done so the players would have somewhere to play their home matches. Many years on and there are still some current players who had a hand in getting the club up and running!
The eventual outcome was that the club was entered in to the Mining League Division Three where it would start its journey in to junior football.
Several years later and the club is still a mens junior football team who now play in the Mining League Divsion One, having enjoyed considerable success for a very small village team.
This season brings a change in the management of the team, as now the ground work has been done off the field, the club look to get back to winning ways on it. With transfer targets identified and some hard work being put in over the coming months, the feeling at the club is that it can now concentrate on getting the right players signed for the club.
