Pershore Town 88 F.C. (generally known simply as Pershore Town) are an English football (soccer) club based in Pershore, Worcestershire, England. For the 2008-09 season, they are members of the Midland Combination Premier Division.

History

The club was established in 1988 by the merger of three clubs, Pershore United, Pershore Rec. Rovers and junior club Pershore Bullets. The new club joined the Midland Football Combination in 1989, initially in Division Two, where they were champions at the first attempt. The following season they were promoted again, this time to the Premier Division. [http://home.btconnect.com/pershore-town-fc/PERSHORE/history.htm History page on official club website] ]

In the 1993–94 season they were crowned Midland Combination Premier Division champions and also reached the final qualifying round for the FA Cup which saw them featured on the BBC before their 3-1 loss at home to Yeading.

After their title win they were among the founder members of the newly formed Midland Football Alliance, where they spent six seasons before succumbing to relegation back to the Midland Combination Premier Division, where they remain to this day.

In 1998 Pershore Town absorbed Worcester Athletico.
