Cheddar Association Football Club is an English football club based in Cheddar, near Wells in Somerset. The club are members of the Western League Division One and play at Bowdens Park.

History

The club was established in 1892 and they became founder members of the Cheddar Valley League in the early 1900s. They won the league in 1911 and after fifteen years joined the Weston and District League. Cheddar rejoined the Cheddar Valley League after the Second World War and won every competition they entered in 1948. This was repeated in 1950.[1]

Cheddar later joined the Somerset County League. In 1988–89 they finished third in Division Two and were promoted to Division One.[2] However, they were relegated back to Division Two at the end of the 1992–93 season.[2] They returned to Division One after another third-place finish in 1997–98, and after winning Division One in 2003–04, were promoted to the Premier Division.[2] In 2011–12 they finished second in the Premier Division, and were promoted to the Western League.
