History of the Club
30 Nov -0001

Our Club was formed on 1908, but is was only following the Second World War that the club started to make its mark in the Witney and District League.
The club won the Witney and District League Premier Division title seven times in the 1950s and also enjoyed sucess in the Oxfordshire Senior Cup.
In the 1980s the club resumed its trophy winning habits with five succesive Witney & District League titles earning it a place in the Hellenic League Division 1 for the season 1990/91.
After only two seasons in Division 1 the club finished runners up to Tuffley Rovers and so took its place in the Hellenic League Premier Division where we still play today.
The season 2001/02 was the most successful in the club's history. After a season of consistently high performance and a epic struggle with Gloucester United & Yate Town throughout the season to occupy top spot, the club eventually succeeded in winning for the first time, the Premier Division title. The club also reached the final of both the Oxfordshire Senior Cup and the Hellenic League Challaenge Cup.
In season 2002/3 we went one beetter and with a smaller squad, retained the title with a winning margin of 10 points over Yate Town.
In season 2003/4 the club reached the last 32 of the FA Vase and with a bit of luck could have progressed further and in the league finished a disappointing eight place.
In 2004/5 the club finished seventh but the highlight was a truly memorable run in the FA Cup as the last Hellenic League side left in the competition and only losing out to Conference South side Newport County in Wales after holding them to a draw at Eynsham Park in front of a record crowd of 426.
In season 2006/7 after an excellent start the Club just missed out on promotion to the Southern League finishing in fourth place after a disappointing late run.
Last season after a head to head contest with Slimbridge and narrowly finishing behind them after an epic struggle, including a double win home & away against them, we were severely disappointed to learn of their withdrawal from promotion to the Southern League at a stage too late for us to replace them.
During North Leigh’s history, it has also won the Oxfordshire Junior Shield, the Oxfordshire Charity Cup and The Oxfordshire Youth Cup twice.
There has been significant development at the ground over the last few years culminating in the approval by the FA for the next level in the non league pyramid.
