Sandhurst Town Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Sandhurst, Berkshire, England. Formed in 1910, the club plays at Bottom Meadow. They play in the Hellenic League Division One East.
After the club's formation in 1910, Sandhurst played in the Reading & District League consistently up to 1979 other than a short spell in the East Berkshire Football League. In 1979, the club was then elected into the Aldershot & District League in which they finished in third place in their first season. In 1984 Sandhurst Town F.C. finished as runners-up from whence whey became founder members of the Chiltonian League and a stepping stone toward becoming a senior club. Their most successful season in the Chiltonian Football League was in 1986–87 when they finished in second place. In 1990, the club applied for membership of the Combined Counties League and were accepted after being granted senior status by the Berks & Bucks County FA. The first two seasons were poor as they finished in bottom place on each occasion and avoided relegation back to the Chiltonian Football League at the end of the second season only due to the vacancy created by the departure of Steyning Town to the Sussex County League. However, the form of the club improved thereafter with appointment as player-manager of Tony O'Connor, who brought an improvement in the quality and stature of the team. During his second season of management, the club reached the final of the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy, where they lost 0–1 to Eton Wick, and the final of the League Challenge Vase, losing 1–2 to Bedfont. In 1996, Tony O'Connor gave up his position as manager, although he remained at the Club as a player. Since then, several managers have managed the club with differing degrees of success. The current manager is Dean Thomas, who took over from Jon Underwood in October 2010.
