Cammell Laird
Description
Cammell Laird F.C. is a football club based at Kirklands Stadium in Rock Ferry, Birkenhead, Merseyside, England.
Cammell Laird Football Club can trace its origins back to 1889 when a team from the Upper Boilers Shop of Laird Brothers (forerunners of the world famous shipyard whose name the club carries to this day) played in Birkenhead Park under the name of Grange Football Club. However, the club soon changed to the rugby code and it was not until June 1907 that the Cammell Laird Institute Association Football Club was established.
They have won the West Cheshire League 19 times in the past 35 years. They reached the Quarter-Finals of the FA Vase in the season 1994-95 but have since bettered that by reaching the Semi-finals. Unfortunately, they lost 5-0 on aggregate to Nantwich Town.
In season 2005-06 'The Lairds' became the 1st team to win the championship of the second and first divisions of the North West Counties League at the first time of trying, scoring over 250 league goals in the process.
They are currently members of the Northern Premier League Division One South.
