Hamworthy Recreation Football Club is a football club based in Merley, England. They are currently members of the Wessex League and play at Magna Road.
Hamworthy Recreation Football Club was formed in 1948 as Hamworthy Engineering FC and played on the Sports Ground opposite the factory at Fleetsbridge in Poole (where the Tesco supermarket now stands). When the site at Fleetsbridge was sold to Tesco in the late 1980s the football, along with the Sports & Social Club, moved to its current home at Magna Road, Canford Magna. At that time ‘Hamworthy Engineering FC’ were playing in the Bournemouth League (Division 1). The 2000–01 season saw the Club change its name to Hamworthy Recreation FC to reflect the name of their current headquarters.[1] In May 2022, the club earned promotion to the Wessex League.[2] They were crowned champions of the 2023–24 Wessex League Division One.[3]
