Wells City Football Club joined the Western League Division Two and
won the Western League Title in 1950. Declining performances
culminated in relegation to the second division after the 1956-57
season and after three seasons in the Western League Division Two,
Wells City left the league.

Wells City rejoined the Somerset Senior League in 1960-61 with the
Reserves competing in the Mid-Somerset Football League. The club
finished very much mid-table until 1965-66 when they were third
behind Street and Welton Rovers Reserves. They were Runners-up
behind Paulton Rovers in 1971-72.

Relegation from the Somerset Senior League Premier Division
occurred at the end of the 1977-1978 season with promotion to the
top section being gained at the end of the 1979-80 season.
Unfortunately 1981-82 saw relegation yet again for Wells.

Promotion back to the Premier Division of the County League was a
long time in arriving, not until the start of the 1994-95 season would
Wells City grace the top flight Somerset County Football. Soon the yo-
yo effect happened once more with relegation at the end of the 1997-
98 season followed by bouncing straight back up in 1998-99.

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