Exmouth Town F. C. are a football club, from Exmouth, Devon, England who play in the South West Peninsula League. They had started the 2005-06 season in the Western League, but financial problems led to their withdrawal bringing a 33-year association with the league to an end.

History

The club was formed in 1933 and played their first forty years of existence in local football, primarily in the Devon & Exeter League. They joined the Western League in 1973, and won the league title twice, in the 1983-84 and 1985-86. The club play their home matches at their Southern Road Ground. The club is nicknamed "The Town".

The highlight of the club's existence was the 1984-85 season, when they went all the way to the FA Vase semi-finals. There were high hopes of a place in the final at Wembley Stadium, but Fleetwood Town were just too strong over the two legs, the Lancashire side winning 4-3 on aggregate.

After the demise of their Western League team in January 2006, the reserve side in the Devon & Exeter League became the first team, effectively dropping the club three levels of the National League System.

outhern Road ground

The club have played at the Southern Road ground, also known as the King George V ground, since 1964. Previous grounds include Maer Cricket Field and Raleigh Park.
