Easington Sports F.C. are a football club based in the Easington ward of Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. They play in the Hellenic League Division One West.
History
The club was established in 1945 and joined the Hellenic League Division One A in 1971.
They have spent over thirty years in the lower divisions of the Hellenic League without ever winning the title, their best finish was 3rd place in the 1974–75 season. As their Addison Road ground does not have floodlights, they are currently ineligible for the FA Vase, but they did compete for two seasons (1989–90 and 1990–91) when the entry requirements were less stringent, but lost their first game on each occasion.
Currently, they are members of the Hellenic League Division One West. To gain promotion to the Premier Division they would need to install floodlights, hard standing and covered seating. This is not practical at their present ground so they are looking at a move to nearby Bodicote Park, the home of Banbury RUFC. Here there are already two floodlit pitches, one of which might be practical for Easington Sports.
Ground
Easington Sports play their home games at Addison Road, Banbury, Oxfordshire, OX16 9DH.
