Bedfont Town Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Bedfont, Greater London, England. The club was established in 1965 as Bedfont Green, playing as a Sunday side in the West Middlesex Sunday Football League. In 1981 the club started playing Saturday football and joined the Hounslow & District League. Five years later they switched to the Woking & District League. They gained promotion to the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) in 2001. In 2004 they won the Premier Division title and were promoted to the Combined Counties League Division One. They finished second in their first season in the new league and gained promotion once again.[1] In 2009 they won the Combined Counties Premier Division and were promoted into the Southern League Division One South & West for the 2009-10 season. Bedfont Town's Reserve side are currently playing in the Northern League of the Suburban Football League
The club is represented at various levels of the English football league system. Along with the first team, they have a reserve side who play in the Suburban League Premier Division. Their 'A', 'B' and 'C' teams were renamed AFC Bedfont Green in 2008[2] and play in two of the first team's old leagues - the Surrey County Intermediate (Western) and the Guildford & Woking Alliance. They also had two teams operating under the name Bedfont Green Social in the Guildford & Woking Alliance but those teams have been absorbed into AFC Bedfont Green for the 2009-10 season.
The club changed their name to Bedfont Town in 2010 and will be playing their home games at The Orchard, the former home ground of Bedfont - in a ground-share with Feltham.
