Garstang Football Club is an English football club based in Garstang, Lancashire.[1] They are currently members of the North West Counties League Division One North and play at the Riverside.

History

The earliest documented records of the football club date back to 1927, though it is believed the club was formed in the late 1800s.

Garstang were members of the Preston and District League up until 1994 when they made the step up into the West Lancashire Football League.

In 2009, the club created its youth football set-up and in March the following year, became an FA Adult Charter Football Club.

In their 2017/18 season, Garstang won the West Lancashire Football League Premier Division and made the transition into the North West Counties League where they will compete in the Division One North for the very first time.[2] The 2018-19 season saw the club enter the FA Vase for the first time, reaching the second round at their first attempt.[3]

Ground

Garstang play their home games at The Riverside, where they have played since the 1960s.

In recent years, extensive redevelopments have taken place including: improving drainage, widening of the pitch, installing perimeter fences, floodlights and new changing rooms. These changes have helped the club to progress further up the football pyramid.[2]
