Established in 2022, this season sees a new Era begin for Fc Bristol but the
same heart and foundation continues to run through it. FC Bristol has taken
over from a strong and successful Lebeq United team, with the aim to
propel the club forward with a new and youthful direction. Last season the
team finished mid table and were a little inconsistent, but throughout they
stayed positive. We look forward to building on that and continue to make
strides on and off the pitch with this inner city club.

Formed in 1982, Lebeqs Tavern Courage entered the Bristol & District
Sunday League in the lower divisions, which is now the Bristol Premier
Sunday League. After several years of rapid success they reached the
Premier Division in 1990, with Manager Owen Smith and George Philipou
(Secretary).

The pair strengthened the club, with Smith bringing his vast knowledge and
personnel from Semi-Professional football on a Saturday and Philipou
adding a good club structure behind the scenes to aid their success. Owen
and George proved decisive as ever since. Lebeqs Tavern Courage (Sunday)
has won every competition they have entered, with the Trophy cabinet
being full to the brim!! Only one trophy has eluded the team and that’s the
FA Sunday Cup. Lebeqs came very close in 2007 when they were beaten
finalists at the world famous Anfield Stadium in Liverpool.

Lebeq united, the team was widely known throughout the Bristol football
scene as a Sunday side. The club decided a new venture was needed and
Saturday football offered the club that opportunity. Lebeq United FC
entered the Bristol and Suburban Association Football League division
three, for the start of the 2009/10 season under the management of Clifford
