Cinderford Town vs Bideford
Southern League Division One South
Saturday 1st December 2018
3:00pm kick off
Causeway Ground, Cinderford
After a good run of results Bideford’s form has slumped once again after three successive league defeats, conceding 11 goals in the process. Poor starts against Bristol Manor Farm and Moneyfields cost The Robins dearly and has seen them drop to 13th in Division One South. Cinderford’s form has been mixed with two wins, a draw and three defeats in their last six. A good win at Highworth was followed by a surprise defeat at home to struggling Fleet while last week they picked up a hard earned point at Thatcham.

A Brief History of Cinderford Town FC
Founded in 1922, Cinderford Town played in the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League, winning the league title in 1938/39. Following World War II Cinderford joined Western League Division Two and remained there until winning the division title in 1956/57 and promotion to Division One. However after two seasons the club pulled out of the Western League. A return to the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League was next and a second league title in 1960/61. More moves would follow as they joined the Warwickshire Combination Western Division (champions in 1964/65 and promotion to the Premier Division), the Gloucestershire County League in 1969 and the Midland Combination League in 1974. Cinderford returned to the Gloucestershire County League in 1984 before moving to the Hellenic League in 1990/91 where they became champions of Division One. Promotion to the Premier Division followed and in 1994/95 Cinderford were crowned Hellenic League champions. In 1995/96 they began playing in the second tier of the Southern League and would remain at that level until becoming champions of Division One South & West in 2015/16. Their time in the Premier Division was a difficult one and the club finished bottom of the league meaning a return to Division One for 2017/18 which ended with a 13th place finish.
