Peacehaven & Telscombe F.C. is a football club based in Peacehaven, East Sussex, England. The club is affiliated to the Sussex County Football Association.[1] The club are currently members of the Isthmian League.

History

The club was formed in 1923 as a result of a merger between Peacehaven Rangers and Telscombe Tye.[2] after the second world war the club joined Junior Division one of the Brighton, Hove & District Football League for the start of the 1949–50 campaign finishing runners up at the first attempt.[3] Two seasons later the club achieved promotion to the intermediate division when they finished as champions of the Junior Division one, and gained further promotion the next season when they finished runners-up in the intermediate division.[4][5] However they could only survive two seasons in the Senior Division before being relegated back to the intermediate division at the end of the 1954–55 competition.[6] Four seasons later the club bounced back up to the senior division, when they finished runners-up but as before they could only survive two seasons in the top division before being relegated again.[7][8] The 1963–64 season saw the club promoted back to the Senior division as champions of the intermediate Division.[9] The club would then go on to win the Senior division five seasons later, with out losing a single game.[10]

The Senior division win in the Brighton league enabled the club to be promoted to Division Two of the Sussex County Football League, for the start of the 1969–70 season.[11] Their fourth season in Division two, the 1972–73 campaign, saw the club make their debut in the FA Cup, where they beat Burgess Hill Town in the First Qualifying round before losing to Lewes in the next round.[12] The 1975–76 season saw the club gain promotion to Division one for the first time, when they finished runners up behind Selsey.[13]

In their third season, 1978–79, in Division one the club ended up finishing as champions of the Sussex County League.[13] The club went on to remain in Division one for another nineteen seasons during which time they went on to win the league title a further six times.[14][15] Two seasons after winning the last of these six titles, the 1997–98 campaign saw the club relegated to Division two.[15] The club bounced back as runners-up of Division two, three seasons later but could only last two seasons back in Division one.[15]

Two seasons after being relegated from Division one, the club was relegated to Division three for the first time in their history.[16] The next season saw them become champions of Division Three in the 2005–06 season, earning promotion back to Division two.[16] The club was back in Division one three seasons later when under manager Darren Guirey, they earned promotion as champions of Division Two.[17] The club achieved further success at the end of the 2012–13 campaign the club won the Sussex county league for the eighth time in their history and earning themselves promotion to the Isthmian League.[18] In 2013-14, the club won the Isthmian League Division One South and earned a second successive promotion, reaching the Isthmian Premier Division.
