which they play is usually appended
to their name (HEREFORDS) to differentiate them from another Wellington F.C.
based in Somerset.

Promoted to Premier Division
Following the success of England in the World Cup
the club was formed as a youth side playing youth team and
friendly matches.
In 1968 the club, playing on a pitch loaned by a local
farmer and changing in the village hall,
entered Division 3 of the Herefordshire Football League.
In 1974 the club won its first
trophy. The Herefordshire League Junior Cup,
and began its rise to the position it has achieved today.
In 1978 the club moved to the new
village playing field and following the building
of wooden changing rooms in 1981 was invited into the
Herefordshire Premier Division
which it won at the first attempt.
During the eighties the club continued its development and
won the premier Division again in seasons 1987-88 and
1988-89.
The club has subsequently won the title a total of seven
times, the last three times
by the clubs second team.
In 1994 the club became actively
involved in an initiative proposed by the Wellington
Community Association
to develop the sports facilities on the playing fields.
In 1996 those new facilities were
officially opened.
On completion, a Herefordshire Premier League and Cup
Double,
In 1996-97, the club successfully
applied
to join the West Midlands League and in its second season
finished champions of Division 1 South and
League Cup winners. Unfortunately promotion to the Premier
Division did not result.
The following season 1999-2000 the
team achieved runners up position and retained the league
cup.
Following extensive fund raising, further ground
improvements were made and the club was promoted
to the Premier Division.
The club officials are active in continuously improving the
facilities at the ground and in 2005
purchased
the adjacent field in order to secure permanently a playing
surface
for Wellington Football Club for future generations.
2004-05 the club ran a total of
twelve teams and has a structure in position that can
elevate
any of the junior players into a senior position when the
time arises.
Success came 2005-06 with the senior
sides finishing in their highest league position
and the Under 18 team winning the Giant Killers Cup,
the first Herefordshire side to do so.
