football club based in
Saltash,

United Kingdom. They were founding members of the South Western League in 1951 and won the title two times in their history. They remained in the South Western League until 1976, when they joined the Western Football League, achieving promotion from Division One to the Premier Division in their first season, before rejoining the South Western League in 1995.
