Forest Row Football Club is a football club based in Forest Row in East Sussex, England. They are currently members of the Southern Combination Division One and play at Tinsley Lane in Crawley.
History
The club was established in 1892.[1] Becoming members of the Mid-Sussex League, they were joint Division Two champions in 1951–52.[2] After winning Division Four in 1959–60, the club were champions of an emergency Division Three competition in the weather-interrupted 1962–63 season.[2] They were Division Three champions again in 1971–72 and won the Mowatt Cup the following season. In 1975–76 the club won the Division One and Mowatt Cup double.[2] They won the Mowatt Cup for a third time in 1983–84 and the League Trophy in 1987–88.[2]
After winning the Sommerville Cup in 1999–2000, another rise up the divisions began in 2000–01 when the club were Division Four champions.[2] They finished third in Division Three in 2002–03, earning promotion to Division Two.[3] The following season they were Division Two runners-up and were promoted to Division One.[3] After a third-place finish in Division One in 2005–06, the club were promoted to the Premier Division.[3] In 2010–11 they finished bottom of the Premier Division and were relegated to the renamed Championship division.[3] They went on to finish bottom of the Championship the following season,[3] and were relegated to Division One.
The club were promoted back to the Championship in 2013–14 and were Championship runners-up in 2014–15, earning promotion back to the Premier Division. After a fourth-place finish in the curtailed 2020–21 season, the club were promoted to Division One of the Southern Combination League.[4]
