History

Established in 1922 and played in the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western).[1] During their early days the club played Hawley Youth Club on 3 November 1969 and this game entered the 2003 Guinness Book of Records, for the most number of booked players, as all 22 players and a linesman were booked.[2]

The club joined the Combined Counties Football League Division One for the start of the 2005–06 campaign.[3] At the end of the 2007–08 season the club resigned from the Combined Counties League to join the newly formed Surrey Elite Intermediate League.[4][5] In 2011 they took voluntary relegation to the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) Premier Division.[6] Their first season back in the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) saw them finish bottom of the division and relegated to Division One.[6][7]

The 2012–13 season saw the club finish as champions of Division one, and return to the Premier Division.[8]

Ground

Tongham play their home games at Poyle Road, Aldershot, Hampshire, GU10 1DU.

In 2007 Tongham Parish Council opened a new community centre, built on the site of the old pavilion in the recreation ground.[9] This modern building with improved changing room facilities and club room bar became the new home for Tongham Football Club which they also share with the village cricket team.[10]
