YTFC are still one of the most
famous FA Cup "Giant-killing" teams which earned them notoriety
around the country. The club, founded in 1890 as Yeovil Football
Club, shared a ground for many years with the town's rugby club.
In 1895 they became Yeovil Casuals and moved to play their home
games at the Pen Mill Athletic Ground. The club became Yeovil Town
in 1907, and in 1915 an amalgamation of Yeovil Town and Petters
United led to a new club called Yeovil and Petters United. The
merged club reverted to the name Yeovil Town in 1946.
Last but not least, Yeovil Town
proudly supports their female team called the Yeovil Town Ladies
who are playing among the top of their league! |
