Club History...
In the late 1800's Earls Barton United F.C was formed, nobody seems to know the exact date but we do know one historic fact when Northampton Town F.C was first formed in 1897, their first game was against Earls Barton United on 18th September 1897 with the Cobblers coming out 4 - 1 winners.
Since then the club has seen many changes. In 1983 Earls Barton Saxons formed a youth team playing on Recreation field. Dave Pick, Jim Boughton, Graham Halsall, Bill Wellbourne and Mel Johnson sat round a table, threw in £10.00 each, which in those days bought a green / yellow kit and entered the Weetabix League.
Earls Barton United Football Club are one of the largest football clubs in Northamptonshire with over 250 players forming 18 teams and an under 7's fun football scheme. The adult Saturday teams and the youngest teams, girls and boys, mainly play at the Grange and the other teams at the Pioneer. Training is at the Pioneer under floodlights for the juniors, with the Adults at the Grange.
The club have two venues, the Grange Sportsfield, Northampton Road, Earls Barton. This is run by the Sports Association and Earls Barton United Football Club is a member of it. The clubhouse with bar is open to all members of the club and is available for hire through the Secretary of the Association.
