Poulton
Victoria were formed in 1935, but disbanded with the outbreak of
the Second World War, the present club re-formed in 1954. After
spending some years in the Wirral Combination and the Birkenhead
and Wirral league, ‘The Vics’ eventually gained entry into the West
Cheshire League in 1964. Their first success came in 1966, winning the Wirral Senior Cup,
closely followed by the Division One title the very next season. 'The Vics' have a more than healthy rivalry with their main adversaries over the years Cammell Laird, which will hopefully continue for many years to come.
