Corton Football Club was founded in 1902 by the local Rector as a way of giving the "Lads of the Village" a game of football. The Village Playing Field where they started all those years ago is still the home of today’s crop of up and coming talent.

Over the years the Club enjoyed reasonable success at District League level with both the First and Reserve teams winning their respective Divisions on several occasions and also the League Cup and John Moore Shield.

Then in 1982 the club committee made the decision to raise the standards and take the First Team into the Anglian Combination League. After some near misses, senior football was achieved by finishing champions of Division Two in 2007/08 and we now compete in Division One. The Cyril Ballyn Trophy (Junior League Cup) was also won for the first time in season 2007/08.

The Reserves meanwhile are in Division Five of the Anglian Combination League, stepping up from Division Six.

The A side compete in Division Two of the Lowestoft & District League.

Though the facilities provided today are a far cry from those early days, there are plans to upgrade the current pavilion to match the club’s achievement of senior status and with the commitment of a hard working Playing Field Committee this will hopefully happen sooner rather than later.

Our club is kindly sponsored by Glen High who runs "The Ole Frank" public house in Gorleston Road, Oulton Broad.
