History:

Baston Football Club was founded in 2005 by Sam Spry along with a squad of 15-18 young local players. They were inducted into the Grantham & District League for the 2006/07 season, where many of the players would be experiencing their first taste of league football.

Despite an unimpressive start to league football, Baston improved for the following season with several new players joining and managed to finish clear of the bottom 3 under the stewardship of management team Tony Bedford and Phil Davies. Baston struggled, and lost several players and slumped back down to second bottom in the 2008/09 season.

A high influx of new players in the summer of 2009 led to a separate Baston side being formed away from the main squad, and the 1st team improved dramatically, clinching a top half finish in the Grantham first division, and going on to secure their first ever silverware as they beat rivals Harrowby United 6-1 for the Benevolent Cup.

With the side improving and needing promotion for weekly competitive football, Baston pushed for promotion in the 2010/11 season but ultimately came up short as the league finished with Baston not playing all of their games. The season was still a good one with Baston reaching 5 cup quarter finals, claiming some higher league scalps along the way.

With several of the squad based in Peterborough, it made sense to make a change and seek a new challenge. The club was accepted into the Peterborough District League for 2011/12 gaining promotion in their first season, and received The FA Charter Standard Adult Club award.

2012/13 Season saw a number of changes on and off the field, Baston inducting their Reserve side into the PDFL. who along with the 1st team achieved promotion. The reserves also winning their league cup.

13/14 Season saw yet again a double promotion and cup with for the club. With both sides going from strength to strength the club is in a real strong position.

The a strong management team and off field committee. Baston FC players, members and sponsors are committed to their 5 year plan and hope to have another successful season.
