GILLFORD PARK FC

Welcome to the website of Gillford Park FC, based in Carlisle, and members of Northern League division 2 since 2009.

The club has risen rapidly through the football ranks, since starting life in Northern Alliance division 2 in 2005. Formed by Mike Linden, Geoff Andrews & Stephen Skinner, the club finished 2nd in their inaugural season, and were promoted as champions of division 1 at the end of 2006/7.
The first season in the Northern Alliance premier division brought a creditable 3rd place position, and the 2008/9 season saw Gillford finish 2nd and clinch promotion to the Northern League, becoming the first Carlisle-based side to feature at this level.

The first season in the Northern League ended with Gillford in 11th place. Tremendous off-field problems dogged the club throughout 2010/11, and to match the same finishing position was a fine achievement. Season 2011/12 saw an entry in the FA Cup for the first time in the club's short history, with a 1st round defeat to Hebburn Town
