Midhurst & Easebourne F.C. is an English football club based in Midhurst, West Sussex. The club are currently members of Division Two of the Sussex County League and play at Dodsley Road.

History

The club was established after World War II by a merger of Midhurst (whose ground had been used to build a school on) and Easebourne (who had lost several officials and players during the war).^[1] The merged club played at Easebourne's Rotherfield ground. They applied to join the Sussex County League in 1980, but were rejected. However, the following year they were successful, and were accepted into Division Two.^[2] After finishing as runners-up in their first season, they were promoted to Division One.

They finished bottom of the division in 1986–87 and were relegated back to Division Two. They returned to Division One after finishing second in 1991–92, but were immediately relegated back to Division Two. The following season they were relegated again. They won Division Three at the first attempt, but were relegated back to it at the end of the 1997–98 season, and after finishing bottom of the division the following season, left the league.^[2] They dropped into the West Sussex League. After winning the Premier Division in 2001–02 they returned to the Sussex County League and won Division Three at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two.^[2]
