Club History

Torrington were established in 1908 and, after spending several decades in local North Devon football, they stepped up and joined the South Western League in 1978. After five years, they were elected to the Western League Division One in 1984 and were immediately successful as Champions, earning promotion to the Premier Division. That 1984-85 season also saw their best ever run in the FA Vase when they reached the last 16 (5th round).

Despite being based in one of the smaller towns represented in the league, and having some of the longest distances to travel, the club has often finished in a respectable position, with the undoubted highlight coming in the 1990-91 season when the club finished in the runner-up position under former Plymouth Argyle boss Johnny Hore. They have been unable to repeat that feat since, and dropped down to the lower division for a five-season spell around the turn of the millennium, but returned to the Premier Division in 2003.

Gates at Vicarage Field dropped to an average of 44 in the 2006-07 season [ [http://www.tonykempster.co.uk/archive06-07/westpatt.htm Attendances ] ] , and the club decided in June 2007 to withdraw from the Western League, and return to the North Devon League, taking over the position previously occupied by their reserve side.
