Molesey F.C. is an English football club based in West Molesey, Surrey. The club are currently members of the Isthmian League Division 1 South and play at the Walton Road Stadium.

History

Molesey F.C. was officially formed in 1953 when Molesey St Paul's merged with another club. They won the Surrey Senior League in 1958, just five years after their formation. They later joined the Spartan League (with a best finish of 3rd in 1971–72) before joining Division Two of the Athenian League in 1973. They joined the Isthmian League Division Two in 1977 and have remained there ever since. In 1990 they gained promotion to Division One of the Isthmian League, followed in 1993 by promotion to the Premier Division, where they spent three seasons. Relegation to Division One in 1996 was followed by a further drop into Division Two in 1999. They remained at this level, although due to league reorganisations they found themselves in Division One South until being relegated to the Combined Counties League in 2008.

In 2015, Molesey won the Combined Counties League Premier Division and were promoted to the Isthmian League Division 1 South.^[1] They made it a double by winning the Southern Combination Cup, beating Bedfont & Feltham F.C. in the final.^[2]
