History:
In1964, local men, Bob and Len Evans founded Blacon Youth Club FC, and entered them into the Chester & District league. Ever since then Blacon have flourished, with two teams up to the early 1980`s, and currently have several teams at senior and junior level in weekly action.
Blacon successfully applied for entry into the West Cheshire League Division Two, in the 1981-82 season, and to their credit quickly consolidated and in the 1984-85 and 1988-89 seasons, finished in a creditable Third place.
A win in the West Cheshire Bowl final in the 1992-93 season, brought them deserved recognition which eventually led to what was surely a milestone in the clubs brief history, promotion to Division One, this was achieved in 1995.
Blacon, have now become one of the strongest clubs in the Chester area, carrying off plenty of silverware, with many victories in all of the various local competitions.
Blacon Reserves were elected to Division 3 in season 2004/05.
Blacon returned to the 1st Divsion in season 2006/07 and their reserves were voted back in after being relegated to the Chester & District League.
