Warlingham F.C was founded in 1896 and is affiliated to the Surrey F.A. The clubs base is at Church Lane, Warlingham where they moved in the early twenties. At this time they amalgamated with Warlingham C.C to form Warlingham Sports Club.
In the early years the team played at various local venues. The current Church Lane site was left to the people of Warlingham for the pursuit of sport and is now used to support our junior teams and our 2 Veterans teams.
The first and reserve teams now play at Verdayne (Hamsey Green Playing Field), which was leased, from Tandridge District Council in March 2004 specifically to allow us to gain promotion to the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties league.
In our long history we have gained virtually every honour available in Intermediate football and we have now achieved success at the new level having won the Combined Counties Div 1 title in season 05/06 and the Reserve section in both 04/05 and 06/07.
In season 06/07 we reached 6-cup finals across our 10 teams but it was the U9s who showed the way with our only win. Three of our five adult teams won their respective leagues (Reserves/Vets/Youth). We have two ambitious projects underway at present to add new floodlit training facilities, which will be available for use in the coming season and also a new stadium in the long term. This latter project would allow us to progress to the next level.
Season 07/08 has been more difficult but we still managed to reach 3 Finals with our U18 Youth team winning both the League and Combined Counties Cup. The evergreen Vets won the league cup and also won the Jersey Vets Tour trophy recently. They also reached the Surrey Vets Cup Final.
