History[edit]
Avonmouth Football Club was formed in 1919 under the name Avonmouth St Andrews[1], playing their early football in the Bristol Church of England League just off the main road of Avonmouth.
In 1930, they moved to a sports ground built in West Town Road by Philip Napier Miles. In 1936, the club moved to the Bristol and District League and won Division 2 in their first season (1936-37).
After World War 2, they fielded sides in both the Bristol and District League and Bristol & Suburban League, winning the Suburban League Division One title in 1953-54.
In 1967, the construction of the M5 Motorway forced them to move to Canford Park in Westbury-on-Trym, where they stayed until 1986. They then moved to their current ground after Avonmouth Old Boys RFC vacated.
They won the Suburban Premier Division One title in 2006-07[2] and were promoted to the Gloucestershire County League in the 2022-23 season, winning the league unbeaten[3].
