From that humble beginning they had immediate success in the Wallasey Youth league, before progressing to the Bebington league in 1951. After winning the championship, Ashville moved to the Wirral Combination and won the league for three consecutive seasons. In the 1955-56 season Ashville were voted into the West Cheshire League Division Two, and in their first season won both the championship and the West Cheshire Bowl. In the following season they were promoted to Division One, and amongst the honours collected at their Wallacre Park ground were the Wirral Amateur and Wirral Senior Cups. In 1962, Ashville moved to their present ground Villa Park, where they have had some success, notably the First division championship in the 1967-68 season, and more recently, 1997/98 season, winning the coveted Cheshire Amateur Cup whilst finishing a creditable, Runner-Up in the Division One championship. In season 2002/03 having been re-instated in Division One after finishing in a relegation place the season before they went on to win the Pyke Cup for the first time. |
