Falmouth Town A.F.C. is a football club based in Falmouth, Cornwall, United Kingdom. They were established in 1950 and were founding members of the South Western League in 1951. They have reached the 1st round proper of the FA Cup 3 times in their history. For the 2011-12 season, they are members of the South West Peninsula League.
In the 1970s, after winning four successive championships, they moved up to the Western League which they also won four seasons running. They were Western League members from 1974-1983. Increased travelling forced Town to revert back to local football and after being initially rejected by the South Western League, they played a season in the Cornwall Combination before being re-elected for the 1984-85 season.
They are the only Cornish team to make the first round proper of the FA Cup, which they have done on three occasions. The president of the club is Roger Fenner.
Former players to have subsequently moved on to the Football League include Tony Kellow and Roy Carter.[1]
In March 2010, Bruce Rioch started to take some training sessions at Falmouth Town.[2]
They have maintained a healthy, regularly contested rivalry with Penryn Athletic for much of their history.
