Southam United F.C. are a football
club based in Southam,
Warwickshire,& joined the Midland
Football Combination Division Three
in 1980 .
Southam United were founded in 1905
following the amalgamation of two
village teams. From 1947 to 1956 the
club dominated the Coventry and
North Warwickshire League. They took
the step up to the Midland
Combination in 1980-81 and
immediately won the Division Three
title. When the League was
reorganised in 1983-84, United were
placed in the Premier Division, but
after several seasons of struggle
they were downgraded to Division Two
when it was discovered that their
pitch was now too short owing to the
construction of a bowling green next
to it. Finally in 1995-96 United
made it back to the Premier Division
after two promotions in seven years.
TThe 1997-98 season was the Saints'
most successful as they finished as
Premier Division runners up and also
won the Birmingham County FA Vase
with a 3-0 victory over Shirley
Town, but league form since then has
been disappointing, with four
successive finishes in the bottom
two between 2001 and 2004 seeing
relegation only staved off each time
by a lack of teams with acceptable
facilities to be promoted. |
