Ground Inspection Report

History:-

Poulton Victoria were formed in 1935, but disbanded with the outbreak of the Second World War, the present club re-formed in 1954. After spending some years in the Wirral Combination and the Birkenhead and Wirral league, ‘The Vics’ eventually gained entry into the West Cheshire League in 1964.
They spent a number of years playing at Lingham Park, then Wallacre Park, in Wallasey, before moving to their present home ‘Victoria Park’ in 1972.

Their first success came in 1966, winning the Wirral Senior Cup, closely followed by the Division One title the very next season.
Success grew from then onwards with more silverware such as: Wirral Senior Cup, Wirral Amateur Cup, the Division 1 and Division 2 titles, the Pyke Cup, West Cheshire Bowl and the Cheshire Amateur Cup.
This success has also been supplemented lately, with the Northern Counties Cup, some fine runs in the FA Vase, a winning trip to Denmark, and a winning appearance at Wembley, against Corby Caledonians. Both latter games, being in the ‘Carlsberg’ Pub & Club trophy.

'The Vics' have a more than healthy rivalry with their main adversaries over the years Cammell Laird, which will hopefully continue for many years to come.

In season 2005/06 the Youth team entered the West Cheshire Youth Division, with a number of players progressing to the senior team. The first team lifted both the 1st Division Championship and the Wirral Senior Cup and were runners up to West Kirby in the Pyke Cup.

In season 2007/08 the first team captured the Cheshire Amateur Cup defeating Cammell Laird Reserves in extra time. The second team ran away with the 2nd Division.
