Lambourn Sports are a football club based in the village of Lambourn, near Newbury, in Berkshire. The club is based at Lambourn Sports Club. They did intend to start the 2021-2022 season in the Wiltshire Senior League, although player shortages and difficulties recruiting a new manager mean they will now revert to playing in the North Berkshire League as they had done previously. History Lambourn football club started playing in 1909, on the site that would become Lambourn Sports Club, and were possibly called The Linnets. The clubs red and white shirts were originally used when the well-known jockey Tommy Robbins, donated the red and white kit to the club. It was in 1946 that Lambourn football club became known as Lambourn Sports FC. It was in this year that the football club suggested a public meeting for the creation of a Sports Club combining all the existing sporting Clubs, such as Cricket, tennis and Bowls into one, as well as starting other sports if members wished. All the local clubs were in attendance attended and meeting chaired by Mr J C Wing, as he was a member or official of all the Lambourn clubs pre-war, was begun. After the meeting, it was announced, on 24 June 1946 that a Lambourn Sports Club would be created to "promote and encourage all sports and recreation for the enjoyment of its members". After the meeting the club purchased a second hand clubhouse in September 1946. It was erected on land belonging to Mr E T Bracey which was already being used by the football, tennis and Bowls teams. Initially the Club rented the land from Mr E T Bracey but in 1955 was able to purchase it for £700. In 1962, the club joined Division One of the Hellenic Football League and gained promotion to the Premier Division in that same year, as runners-up. They remained in this league until the end of the 1966–67 season when they were relegated back to Division One, staying there for five seasons, before leaving the Hellenic league to join the North Berks Football League for the 1972–73 season. The club rejoined the Hellenic league again for the 1977–78, in Division one, and were promoted as champions back to the premier division in the 1981–82 season. However they only lasted a season in the top division, and had to wait 12 seasons until the end of
