It subsequently played at the Memorial Ground, which was named in memory of five Farnham United Breweries workers who were killed during World War I.
History
The club was the works side of Farnham United Breweries, and the first reference to the football club is from the start of the 1910–11 season; the club finished its first season by winning two junior trophies.In 1925–26, the club reached the first round proper of the FA Cup for the only time, helped by being drawn at home for five of the six ties it played. At the first round stage, the Bungs were drawn at home to Swindon Town, but the professionals were much too strong for the brewery workers, scoring 7 in the first half; at 9–0 down, Watson of the home side had a penalty saved by Nash, but Bicknell converted a cross soon afterwards to give the Brewers a consolation goal, before Denyer made it 10–1 by the end.
The final references to the club come from the 1927–28 season, its final recorded fixture being at Reigate Priory in the Surrey Senior League in March 1928.
