The club was created in 1948 and has always played their football at the
Martin's Hill Lane ground in the village of Burton in Dorset, England. Although
a combined Burton and Sopley F.C. was a founder member of the Bournemouth
Football League in the 1920's, the team disbanded during the war and was
reformed as Burton F.C.
The club runs 4 teams in the Bournemouth Hayward League. 2 on Saturdays
in divisions 3 and 6 and 2 on Sundays in divisions 2 and 9.
The football club continues to be part of the village with today's pavilion
erected in 1969 with monies given by the late Katherine Chance. In the early
days a post match wash took place alongside a standpipe and drain!
Burton Parish Council are supporting us in improvements & maintenance
to the current ground & pavilion. This directive was given to the Parish
Council when the ground was handed a 900 year lease by the owners Merrick
Estates, at its inception.
The players and spectators have always enjoyed a post match gathering to
discuss late tackles; great saves and goals. They do this at The Lamb Inn.
