Ashford United FC History
07 Aug 2009

Ashford United Football Club was formed in 2007 in response to a manager seeking sponsorship for his own team.
After several discussions with the manager and other interested parties it was decided to take things further and form our own club which lead to the birth of Ashford United Football club.

In the clubs first season it saw two teams enter the Ashford & District Mini Soccer League at under 7 & 11 level which saw mixed results in a enjoyable first season.

The clubs second season saw the teams expand to three with the addition of an under 10 team, again the teams were entered into the ADMSL which had changed its name to Ashford & District Youth Football League and with mixed results had another enjoyable season.

In November 2008 the clubs committee were asked to take over fellow neighbours Bocca Juniors FC to save them from folding and after several discussions agreed to do just that which saw both clubs benefiting from joint training sessions and events which allowed Bocca to continue for the rest of the season.

At the end of the season it was decided that Bocca Juniors would be disbanded with all teams joining the teams of Ashford United under the new name of South Ashford Football Club.

Bocca Juniors FC History (Brief)

Bocca Juniors Football Club was formed in 1992 under the name of Stanhope Rangers FC to answer the growing needs of children on Stanhope for orgainised football.
After several successful years the club secured a major sponsorship deal which saw the club change its name to Metro Youth FC.
Once the sponsorship finnished the club changed its name again, this time to Bocca Juniors FC.

In November 2008 the committee of neighbouring club Ashford United were asked to take over to stop the club from folding which it agreed to do and with a successful partnership was able to survive until the end of the season.

At the end of the 2008/09 season it was decided that Bocca would fold with all teams joining the teams of Ashford United under the new name of South Ashford FC.
