WELLS CITY F.C.

Wells City became Somerset Senior Cup champions in 2006-07 season
defeating Burnham on Sea at Weston super Mare’s Woodspring Stadium
2-1.

After an absence of almost 50 years, Wells City returned to the Western
League Division 1 in 2008-09 with a mid-table finish.

Wells City was crowned Toolstation Western League Division One
Champions at the end of 2009-10 season. In 2011 Wells reached the 2 nd
qualifying round of the FA Cup with a home tie to Woking Fc with the
visitors coming away comfortable winners. That was to be the highlight
for Wells as after only a brief spell of 3 seasons in the Premier division
found them relegated back into Division 1 in 2012-13.

A period of rebuilding was needed and a few seasons in the lower mid
table positions followed. A change in direction late 2014 which has seen
a gradual change in fortunes resulting in Wells having their most
successful season to date; gaining promotion back to the Toolstation
Western League Premier Division and becoming Champions of Somerset
beating Taunton Town, Frome Town, Weston S Mare and a thrilling 2 –
1 victory over Larkhall Athletic in the final to lift the Somerset Premier
Cup for the first time in the clubs history.

This success was yet again short lived, after only a couple of seasons in
the Premier division Wells were again relegated to Division 1, and
another period of rebuilding began with a credible mid table finish.
Management duo of Tom Clifford-Jones and Nathan Truckle will be
looking at this a platform to push onwards for the forthcoming season
