Malvern Town F.C.

Malvern Town Football Club is an English football club based in Malvern, Worcestershire. The club's first team play in the and have twice reached the third qualifying round of the FA Cup. They have a reserve team (the 21s) who also play in the WMRL and a youth team (under 18s) who play in the Midland Floodlit Youth League. HistoryMalvern Town were formed shortly after World War II and joined the Worcestershire Combination in 1955, becoming champions at the first attempt. They remained in the league, later renamed the Midland Combination, until 1979 and only twice finished outside the top ten, although they never managed to claim another title. For the 1979-80 season they switched to the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division but found success harder to come by. In 1992 they were relegated to Division One but two years later returned to the higher level despite only having finished 9th due to league reorganisation and they were the only side in the top 10 that season to have floodlights. After this former Collets Green manager Bert Green took over and although results on the field improved marginally, Green set a blue print for the club that would reap dividends in future years. Establishing Youth and Reserve sides, Malvern began to develop young talent as well as adding experience to the first team squad. Green resigned in 2000 after guiding Malvern to a top 10 West Midlands League finish and the team was then managed by Green's assistant Joey Rawle and Reserve team manager Richard Anson. The pair guided Malvern to another two West Midlands League top 10 finishes and also picked up the Worcestershire Senior Urn in 2000, beating Midland Alliance club Stourport Swifts on penalties and then reached the final again in 2001, losing to Studley 2-0. Midway through the 2002-03 season Anson took over as general manager with a view to developing the club at all levels and looking to ultimately leave the Langland Stadium and move into a purpose built stadium that would support both the club's longer term ambitions and the local community.
