Cowes Sports Football Club is a football club based in Cowes, Isle of Wight, England. They play in the Wessex League Premier Division. The club is affiliated to the Isle of Wight Football Association, which is a division of the Hampshire Football Association.[1]

History

Cowes Football Club was formed in 1881 and played in friendlies until 1886, when they entered the Hants and Dorset Junior Cup.[2] In 1896 they became founder members of the Hampshire League becoming its first ever champions and completing the double by winning the Hampshire Senior Cup.[2] The club joined the Southern Football League Division Two (South West Section) in 1898, winning that division at their first attempt. They finished as runners-up in the overall Division two play-off to Thames Ironworks.[3] They were promoted to Division One after a test match against Royal Artillery Portsmouth, but folded the following season due to financial problems and resigned from the Southern League on 18 December 1899.[3][4]

The club was reformed in 1903, and joined the Hampshire League Division One.[2] The club entered the FA Cup many times during its time in the Hampshire League, reaching the Fourth Qualifying Round in 1957–58 and 1963–64.[3] Cowes were relegated to Division Two in 1967, and won the league in 1975.[2][3] The club was still a Division Two side by the 1980s when the club merged with Whites Sports to form Cowes Sports.[5]

The club was promoted to Division One in 1988–89 after finishing third, and after winning Division One in 1993–94, Cowes Sports were promoted to the Wessex League.[5] The club reached the Fifth Round of the FA Vase in 1999–2000.[5] They were placed in the Wessex League Division One upon reorganisation in 2005, and the league was renamed the Premier Division the following season. Cowes Sports were relegated to Division One in 2010.[6] In the 2014–15 season Cowes Sports gained promotion back to the Premier Division by finishing in second place behind winners Team Solent.
