Bourne Town Football Club is a football club based in Bourne, Lincolnshire, England. Affiliated to the Lincolnshire Football Association, they are currently members of the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands and play at Abbey Lawn.
History
The club was established in 1883 and joined the Peterborough & District League in 1911. Although they left the league in 1929, they returned the following season and were Division One champions in 1933–34. They left the league again in 1935, but returned in 1937 and went on to win the league for a second time in 1939–40. After World War II the club were champions in 1945–46 and 1946–47. In 1947 they joined the United Counties League, but struggled in the new league, finishing second-from-bottom in 1948–49 and 1949–50, bottom in 1953–54 and second-from-bottom again in 1954–55 and 1955–56. After leaving the league in 1956, they rejoined the Peterborough & District League, before switching to Division One South of the Central Alliance in 1958.
Bourne won Division One South in 1959–60, and in 1961 they joined the newly reformed Midland League. After finishing second-from-bottom in 1964–65, they returned to the United Counties League, and were placed in Division One. They finished as runners-up in their first season back in the league, and went on to win back-to-back league titles in 1968–69 and 1969–70, also winning the Knock-Out Cup in the latter season. A third title was won in 1971–72, after which Division One was renamed the Premier Division. The club won the league for a fourth time in 1990–91, a season which also saw them win the league's Benevolent Cup. They remained in the Premier Division until the 2009–10 season, when they were demoted to Division One due to FA ground grading regulations as the Abbey Lawn was not fully enclosed. In 2022–23 the club finished third in Division One, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, losing 4–2 on penalties to Hucknall Town in the semi-finals after a 1–1 draw. The following season saw them win the Division One title, securing promotion to the Premier Division North, which had been enabled by ground improvements.
In 2024–25 Bourne were Premier Division North runners-up, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating AFC Mansfield 4–0 in the semi-finals, they defeated Boston Town 8–7 on penalties in the final to earn promotion to Division One Midlands of the Northern Premier League.
Other teams
The reserve team has competed in the Peterborough & District League, the Lincolnshire League and the United Counties League.
Between 1952 and 1956 the club also entered an 'A' Team in the Peterborough & District League. The 'A' Team was resurrected at the start of the 2022–23 season and rejoined the Peterborough & District League, playing at Elsea Park. After winning back-to-back league titles the 'A' Team merged with the reserve team for the 2024–25 season and achieved a third consecutive promotion.
