Torpoint Athletic Football Club, nicknamed “The Point,” is a non-league football club based in Torpoint, Cornwall.
They currently compete in the Jewson Western League Premier Division, which is part of the ninth tier of English football. The team calls The Mill their home ground.
The club was created through the merger of two local teams and quickly established itself in Cornish football. Success came early, with victories in the Cornwall Senior Cup, the Cornwall Charity Cup and the Plymouth & District League in the 1905–06 season. Further Senior Cup triumphs followed in the years leading up to the First World War, with additional wins after the conflict in the 1920s and early 1930s.
A new chapter began in the 1960s when the club joined the South Western League, securing league titles in 1964–65 and 1966–67. After a long gap without major silverware, they lifted the Cornwall Senior Cup again in the mid-1990s and later added the South Western League Cup in 2003–04. In 2007, league restructuring saw them placed in the Premier Division of the newly formed South West Peninsula League, before being allocated to the Premier Division East at the end of the 2018–19 season.
The 2021–22 campaign proved historic, as Torpoint won the South West Peninsula Premier Division East title, their first league championship in over half a century. Managed by Dean Cardew, grandson of former manager Les Cardew who guided the club to its last title in 1967, the team also claimed the Walter C Parson Cup to secure a league and cup double. Their season included a run to the second round proper of the FA Vase and a Cornwall Senior Cup campaign, with only defeat in the SWPL Champions Bowl denying them further honours.
