Crescent Rovers Football Club was a football club based in Wallington, Greater London, England. The club played at Wallington Sports & Social Club.

History

The club was formed in 1947 by a group of ex-servicemen in the Whitehorse Manor area of Croydon.[1] The club originally started playing friendlies and were then elected to join the Thornton Heath & District League.[1] The club then made progress through the leagues, eventually joining the Surrey County Premier League for the 1998–99 season.[2] They stayed in the Surrey County Premier league until the end of the 2002–03 season, when the Combined Counties League created a new Division One formed by clubs from the Surrey Premier League.[3] During their time in Division one the club went on to win the Division one cup beating Bookham in the Final 2–1.[4] The club remained in the Combined Counties division one until the end of the 2009–10 season when they elected to drop down to the Surrey Elite Intermediate League.[5]

Ground

Crescent Rovers play their home games at Wallington Sports & Social Club, Mollison Drive, SM6 9BY.[6]

The ground has neither permanent spectator facilities or floodlights, which makes them ineligible to take part in the FA Vase.[7]
