Yate Town F.C. is a football club based in Yate, England. They were established in 1906 as Yate Rovers and changed their name to Yate YMCA in 1946, becoming Yate Town in 1969.
[edit] History
They were founder members of the Gloucestershire County League in 1968, moving to the Hellenic League in 1983. After two seasons in Division One, they were promoted to the Premier Division and after two mid-table seasons they won the Hellenic League title in two successive seasons, 1987-88 and 1988-89. The second championship secured them promotion to the Southern League, where they remained until 2000. In that year, they were relegated back to the Hellenic League for three seasons before being promoted back to the Southern League in 2003 where they remain to this day, playing their first season at Premier Division level in 2005-06.
Yate have competed in the FA Cup for twenty years with a comparatively poor record - they have never won two rounds in any single season, and their best performance is getting as far as the second qualifying round in 2005-06. In their days of playing in the FA Vase they did make the last 16 (fifth round) in 1992-93, and more recently made the last 64 (third round) of the FA Trophy in 2004-05.
