Who are Ashford Town FC?
The club was established in 1958 as Ashford Albion and joined Division Two of the Hounslow & District League. They were promoted to the Premier Division in 1964 when they adopted they current name.
They joined the Combined Counties in 1990, the same year that they add Middx to their name to avoid confusion with a club in Kent that shared the same name. They finished as runners-up in 1993–94, and won the league the following season. They then went onto win the league three times in a row and again in 1999-2000 when they were promoted to Division 3 of the Isthmian League.
After a promotion to Division 2, they were then moved around several divisions and league before being transferred to the South Central Division of the Isthmian League at the end of the 2017–18 season. In 2024–25 Ashford finished third-from-bottom of the South Central Division and were relegated to the Premier Division North of the Combined Counties League. They returned back to the South Central Division after only one seasons absence when they won the Combined Counties Northern Division.
Head To Head
The clubs have met 8 times with the honours even with 4 wins to each side and 1 draw. Last season, Ashford won both games with a 3-1 win at home and then a 1-0 win at the Iconic Stadium.
This game will be Ashford’s first league game of the season as they played in the FA Trophy on Sunday. The Moles lost 3-2 to Hendon in their opening league game.
