Club History

Football in Eldwick can be traced back as far as the successful U17s team of 1947. However, the modern day Eldwick Junior F.C has its roots firmly planted in the formal football organisation formed in 1979 by David Lawson.

The players that formed these early U12s & U13s Teams came from the Local youth Club. They were organised on the field of play by Bernard Doherty with the help of a small committee.

With the increase in the area of family housing came a substantial growth in club membership. The club now caters for boys and girls football from the ages of 7 to 17 and is a member of various local Sunday Leagues as well as being affiliated to the West Riding County F.A.

At present the club has 130+ players headed by 20 committee officials all devoted to children's football. In January 2003 the football club was awarded the prestigious status of "Charter Standard Club" issued by the Football Association. During 2003 funds were devoted to the re-building of the changing rooms on Eldwick Rec which will be available for use in the 2003/04 season. Our club colours are predominately Blue/Yellow, Blue/White, and our Emblem is the "Eagle"
