A Brief History of Yate Town FC
Yate Town were originally formed in 1906 as Yate Rovers before becoming Yate YMCA in 1946 and played at local league level. In 1968 they became founder members of the Gloucestershire County League and changed their name to Yate Town in 1969. They joined Hellenic League Division One in 1983 and were promoted to the Premier Division in 1985. Yate Town were Hellenic League Champions in 1987/88 and again in 1988/89 before accepting promotion to the Southern League Southern Division for season 1989/90. They switched between the Southern, Midland and Western Divisions in the coming years but were relegated back to the Hellenic Premier Division in 2000. Yate soon returned to the Southern League after finishing runners-up in 2002/03 and another 2nd place finish in 2004/05 meant promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. After four seasons in the Premier Division they were relegated in 2008/09 to Division One South & West where they remain to this day. In 2012/13 Yate reached the 1st Round proper of the FA Cup where they were beaten 3-0 by Cheltenham Town. 2016/17 saw Yate Town finish in 18th position and in 2017/18 they were 14th.
