The club was first established in 1904
and were founder members of the North
Devon league, winning the competition in
its first season. They went on to win the
league again in 1908-09.
The club enjoyed a sustained run in
the Western League top division after
winning the Western League in 1979-80
under joint managers Brian Hill and Dave
Baglow. After suffering relegation in 1990-
91 they made it back to the top division in
1993-94, remaining there until 2013.
Barnstaple Town has enjoyed plenty
of success over the years, winning the
Western Football League Premier Division
twice and the current group of players
will be keen to add to these successes over
the coming years.
Their success has not been limited to
the league format of the game however
with particular success experienced in the
Devon Pro Cup which they have won on
thirteen occasions. In terms of individual
matches, their biggest win was a 12-1
victory over Tavistock in 1954. Their
current group of players will be keen to
add to these successes over the coming
years.
This season, it would be fair to say
that their first team did not perhaps enjoy
the campaign that they would have liked,
having put together a record of thirteen
wins, six draws and twenty two defeats
from their forty one matches played to
date. This has left them sitting in the
bottom half of the table with forty five
points on the board.
Their attention will now have turned
towards the off-season and making
sure that they are able to improve next
time around. As long as they are able to
retain their current group of players and
can perhaps make one or two quality
additions they should be in with a good
chance of pushing on up the table.
Barnstaple Town FC is a club that has
put together a history of which they have
every right to be proud over the years. As
long as their committee continue to work
as hard as they have been lately they
should be able to look forward to a bright
and successful future for many years to
come.
