List of Leamington F.C. seasons

Leamington Football Club is a football club based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England. They are currently members of the Southern League Premier Division Central and play at the New Windmill Ground near Bishop's Tachbrook.

Early history

The club was established in 1933 as the works team of Lockheed Borg & Beck,[1] gaining the nickname "the Brakes" as a result of the products manufactured by the company.[2][3] They initially played in the Warwick & District League, before joining the Coventry Works League for the 1934–35 season.[1] In 1940 the club transferred to the Leamington & District League, but returned to the Coventry Works League two years later.[1] In 1944 they changed leagues again, becoming members of the Coventry & District League.[1] In 1947 the club was renamed Lockheed Leamington when they joined the Central Amateur League.[2][3] After two third-place finishes the club joined the Birmingham Combination in 1949.
