HARTLEY WINTNEY FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDED 1897 MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED COUNTIES FOOTBALL LEAGUE; SUBURBAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE; THE ALDERSHOT & DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE & THE SOUTHERN YOUTH LEAGUE. AFFILIATED TO THE HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Hartley Wintney Football Club was founded in 1897. The Club originally played in an area situated at Causeway Farm, which is not too far from our present HQ and was adjacent to the golf and cricket clubs. From stories told by the older members and from ancient records, it appeared that the village side competed and showed well against local opposition. The facilities were not, however, of the standards acceptable today. A horse trough or the pond was the only way to remove the heavy mud left from the sub- standard pitch. In 1953, the Club moved to its present ground in Green Lane, known as the Me- morial Ground. A pavilion was erected and the team competed in the Basing- stoke league before joining the Aldershot league. In 1973, Glynn Howells was appointed manager and, with a further influx of players, HWFC was put firmly on the local footballing map. In Glynn’s six year reign he steered the Club to three successive Aldershot Senior League titles and, on a night to remember, to success in the Aldershot Senior Cup. In 1975, the facilities were upgraded with a bar being incorporated in the pavil- ion, and the playing strength was also improved. In the 1978/79 season, after several seasons in the Aldershot League, Hartley applied to join the Combined Counties league. After the first couple of seasons in the CCFL, Hartley ap- pointed Ian Bedford as manager. A further influx of senior players gave Hartley the success they deserved. Within the first three years of Ian’s reign, Hartley won the league title (season 82/83), Aldershot Senior Cup (80/81), and the George Allen Cup (81/82). They also finished runners-up in the league (80/81) and runners-up in the Aldershot Senior Cup (81/82). During this period a new clubhouse was built and was opened by Peter Osgood. These facilities are ranked as one of the best in the league. David Willoughby, the then secretary/treasurer, and Bill Mitchell, spent exceptional hours in the embryonic stages of this venture. The Club have since strived to maintain their senior status, installing floodlights and a 113 seater stand, and the Club is indebted to the band of volunteer work- ers who keep the Club afloat.
