Godalming Town Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Godalming, Surrey, England. They are currently members of the Southern Combination Division One and play at the Bill Kyte Stadium.
History
The club was established in 1950 as Godalming United by former pupils of Godalming Grammar School. When Godalming & Farncombe United folded in 1970, the club moved to their Weycourt ground and were renamed Godalming & Farncombe. In 1979 they joined the Combined Counties League, and in 1980 were renamed Godalming Town. League restructuring saw them placed in the Eastern Division of the league for the 1981–82 season, with the league reverting to a single division in 1982. In 1982–83 they won the league's Concours Challenge Trophy, and in 1983–84 the club were league champions.
In 1992 the club was renamed Godalming & Guildford, after the Guildford Football Appeal donated money for a set of floodlights. However, they changed back to Godalming Town in 2005. In 2005–06 they won the Combined Counties League and the league's Premier Challenge Cup, earning promotion to Division One South of the Isthmian League. Although they finished bottom of the division in the following season, they were reprieved from relegation and instead transferred to Division One South & West of the Southern League. At the end of the 2007–08 season the club were moved back to Division One South of the Isthmian League.
A fourth-place finish in 2009–10 saw Godalming qualify for the promotion play-offs. However, after defeating Worthing 2–1 in the semi-finals, they were beaten 2–1 in the final by Folkestone Invicta. They also won the Surrey Senior Cup, beating Sutton United 2–1 in the final. In 2011–12 the club finished fifth, losing 5–3 on penalties to Bognor Regis Town in the play-off semi-finals following a 4–4 draw. They were transferred to Division One Central of the Southern League for the following season, and a third-place finish resulted in another play-off campaign, this time losing 2–1 to Biggleswade Town in the semi-finals. The club also won the Surrey Senior Cup for a second time, again beating Sutton United in the final. They were subsequently transferred to Division One South & West for the 2013–14 season, then back to Division One Central in 2014, before returning to Division One South of the Isthmian League for the 2016–17 season. After finishing bottom of the table, they were relegated to the Premier Division of the Combined Counties League.
At the end of the 2020–21 season Godalming were transferred to Division One of the Southern Combination League.
