FC
W
ashington FC, in
its
current
form,
was established in
1947 and has gone on to put together a
history of which they have every right
to be proud since then. They joined the
Wearside League in 1968 and one of their
best performances in the FA Vase came
in the 1977-78 season when they reached
the 3rd round.
They had a season to remember in
the 2014/15 campaign as they gained
promotion from the 2nd Division by
finishing in 2nd place. They secured their
promotion by putting together a run of
seven straight wins towards the end of
the season.
This success sees them competing in
the 1st Division of the Northern League
and they play their home games at the
Nissan Sports and Leisure Complex on
Washington Road in Sunderland. They are
led by Chairman Derek Armstrong who is
supported by Secretary Barry Spendley

and the club has made a considerable
amount of progress under their guidance.
The team has made a strong start
in their new surroundings this season,
putting together a record of seven wins,
four draws and three defeats from their
fourteen matches. This sees them sitting in
the top half of the table with twenty five
points on the board.
This should provide them with the
perfect platform from which to go on and
put together a successful campaign. So
long as they are able to keep their current
group of players together they should
have a good chance of pushing on up the
league.
One of the highlights of the team’s
performances this season has been the
attacking brand of football that they
have been able to produce. This has been
reflected by the fact that they have racked
up 32 goals in the league alone at a rate of
more than two per match.
This will certainly have meant that any
supporters attending their matches will
have been well entertained and should
encourage more of the local community to
get behind them in the future. This in turn
has the potential to provide the club with
a valuable source of additional revenue.
Washington FC has been making
tremendous progress in recent times and
is a fine example of what can be achieved
with a strong set up behind the scenes.
They appear to be a club with everything
in place to enable them to look forward to
a bright and successful future and Sport
in Profile Magazine wishes them the best
of luck.
