Spartans Football Club was setup in June 2006, and immediately gained entry into the Harrow Youth League. In the season 2006/07 Spartans entered 8 sides, of which 7 were mini-league teams, and the other was an Under 11s team who won the Harrow Premier League, and narrowly lost 1-0 in the Middlesex Cup final against Parkfield. This U11 side, successfully went on to win the Harrow Premier League in it''s first season.

All of the founders mentioned above were members of the successful Old Isleworthians Youth Football Club section, which was founded in 1995 by Mark and Paul Stow. Having had many successes and fond memories Mark, Paul and Terry decided to form a new youth’s only football section, giving football back to the community, on a smaller and more elite basis. Our ethos was to provide football for as cheap as possible, in a heavily coached environment (every player trains twice weekly), where eventually the best players are encouraged to leave Spartans and further themselves with a professional club academy (currently we are heavily linked with Watford Football Club). Our deepest thanks go to Hounslow Council, and CIP Parks Organisation who helped gaining pitches and support.

Next season we are entering the following teams (2008/2009)

New members are most welcome and should contact Mark Stow on 07703538347. New players are welcome to train from Wednesday 23rd April 2008. The first training session is always free and any questions/queries should be directed at Mark Stow (Head Coach).
