Ash United F.C.

The club was established in 1911 and soon joined the Surrey Intermediate League, where they played until 1968.[3] They won the league in 1948–49, 1951–52, 1964–65 and 1966–67.

In 1968 they moved up to the Surrey Senior League,[3] but had to drop out of the league three years later when they were forced to leave their Ash Common Ground.[4] After relocating, they rejoined the Surrey Senior League in 1976,[5] In 1978 the Senior League became the Home Counties League, with Ash finishing as runners-up in its first season and winning the George Allen Memorial Cup.[5][6] The league was rebranded as the Combined Counties League the following season, with Ash finishing as runners-up again.[5]

The 1981–82 season saw the league split into Eastern and Western Divisions, with Ash winning the Western section and the overall league title with a 3–0 aggregate win (1–0 at home, 2–0 away) against Malden Town in the championship play-off.[5] The league then reverted to a single division, with Ash finishing in the top five for the next four seasons, before winning the title again in 1986–87. The club won the Premier Challenge Cup in 1997–98,[6] and the following season saw a third title win and victory in the Aldershot Senior Cup.[3][5] They won the Cup again in 2001–02.[3]

When the league gained a second division in 2003, Ash were placed in the Premier Division, where they remained until being relegated to Division One after finishing third-from-bottom of the Premier Division in the 2013–14 season.[5] At the end of the 2020–21 season the club were transferred to Division One of the Wessex League.

The club initially played at Ash Common, but were forced to leave in 1971, moving to the Shawfield Stadium.[4] Floodlights were installed in 1996 and a new 100-seat stand erected in 2003.[4]
