Holyport Football Club, nicknamed “The Port,” is a non-league football club based in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Established in 1934, they currently compete in the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties Premier Division North, which is part of the ninth tier of English football. The team calls Summerleaze Park their home ground.
Founded at a meeting in The George pub in Holyport Village, the club was established with twenty founding members, each paying a shilling to join. Early home fixtures were played at Windsor Road, Bray, before the club progressed through the Maidenhead and District League and later the Hayes and Giles League, playing at Braywick Park.
After three successful seasons, the club earned promotion to the Hellenic League Division 1 East for 2002/03. Two seasons later, the club relocated to Summerleaze Park in North Maidenhead, a ground that has been steadily improved with floodlights, hard standing, three spectator stands, and a hospitality room, funded in part by the Football Foundation.
The 2010/11 season stands as the club’s most decorated, with the management team of Derek Sweetman, Kevin Carvell, and Calvin Maye guiding the side to the Hellenic Division 1 East title, the AM Print and Copy Floodlit Cup, and the Bluefin Insurance Challenge Cup. That year also brought a second successive Hungerford Cup, shared with Thame United.
Covid-19 curtailed a promising 2019/20 campaign, though the club were subsequently awarded promotion to Step 5 on a points-per-game basis, moving into the Combined Counties North League. In 2023/24, the first team recorded their highest-ever Step 5 finish of fifth place with 61 points, before losing in the play-offs to Rayners Lane.
