Founding of the Club (1968)

Chemidus S.S.C achieved promotion into the 1st Division after being crowned Division 2 Champions. This was the first and last trophy that the club would win as Chemidus S.S.C and as fortune of the Club began to change the managers of the Company handed over the running of the team to Alan Murton.
1973
In 1973 the Company was amalgamated with Wavin Plastics and the club changed it’s name to Wavin FC still under the management of Alan Murton.
1978/79
In 1978/79 the team proudly won the Eric Hatcher Memorial Trophy. This was to be the only trophy won as Wavin FC.
1984
Wavin Plastics decided to move location and closed down their Ashford based factory. The Club decided to continue running but moved away from naming itself after local businesses to avoid future name changes.
The Club decided to take the name of a team looking to pull out of the Ashford & District Sunday League and were joined by a few of their remaining players.
Ashford Spartans FC (as known today) was born and in the same year the Club entered a team in the Ashford & District 5-A-Side Super Football League.
