History

Cammell Laird 1907 FC can trace its history back to 1899 when a team from the Upper Boilers Shop of Laird Bros played in Birkenhead Park, before turning to the rugby code. It was not until June 1907 that the Cammell Laird Institute AFC was established, with its first fixture taking place on 2nd September 1907 against Tranmere Rovers. The Club finished 9th in the West Cheshire League in their inaugural season of 1907/08.

In the early years, the Club played at a number of grounds and won their first trophy, the Shipley Cup, in April 1921, before in the summer of 1922 they moved to St Peters Road (which still remains their current home) as Kirklands FC. They disbanded in 1939 but reformed in 1946.

The Club had their most successful period during the 1970s and 80s, winning the West Cheshire League on a regular basis. 1994/95 saw the Club reach the FA Vase quarter-finals before losing to Arlesey Town.

The early part of the new millennium saw the Club reach new heights. They started the rise through the pyramid, making history by becoming the first Club to win the championship of the Second and First Divisions of the North West Counties League, which they achieved in 2004/05 and then 2005/06. In the same year as that First Division triumph, the Club reached the FA Vase semi-finals, losing to eventual winners Nantwich Town, and two years later, the Club gained promotion to the Unibond Premier League. However, they were relegated after just one season due to ground grading.

Having fought relegation battles successfully, the Club finished bottom of the Evo-Stik Division One North in 2011/12, but were reprieved, and bounced back the following season by finishing league runners up before losing on penalties in the play-off final against Trafford.

Season 2013/14 saw the Club finish 11th, but the decision was taken to resign from the Evo-Stik League due to ownership issues and form a new club: Cammell Laird 1907 FC.

The new Club was formed on 28th May 2014 and entered the NWCFL Division One for their debut campaign in 2014/15. In October, the Club lost manager Tony Sullivan to Witton Albion, and appointed Paul McNally in the same month. He ably guided the team to promotion, which was achieved on Saturday 4th April with a 5-0 win at Oldham Boro. In the end, Lairds finished 21 points clear of 3rd placed AFC Darwen.

2015/16 saw the Club finish 15th in its first season in the NWCFL Premier Division. Early on, Lairds drew or even lost games that they largely dominated, but they soon found their feet in the Premier Division. Undoubtedly their best result was an emphatic 4-0 victory against eventual champions Colne in October. In February, Tony Sullivan replaced Paul McNally as manager, and Lairds eventually secured a solid mid-table finish.

At the end of the season, Sullivan departed and was replaced by former Prescot Cables and AFC Darwen manager Neil Prince. The new manager made an excellent start, two fine performances seeing off the challenge of AFC Darwen in the FA Cup. Despite an opening day 4-3 defeat at New Mills, a match in which the visitors led 2-0 and 3-2, Prince’s new-look side appeared to be gelling together with a three game unbeaten run at the end of August. However, September saw a series of tough fixtures against some of the top sides in the division, and Prince resigned on good terms with the Club after a 3-1 reverse against Squires Gate.

Prince was replaced by former Lairds striker Mick McGraa, who had taken over the Reserve Team in the summer. McGraa worked tirelessly to assemble a very promising young side. Although Lairds struggled in terms of results, several performances perhaps deserved better and there was an acceptance that it was going to take time for such a youthful side to develop. Lairds’ displays improved significantly after the turn of the year, and everything finally came together on Saturday 18th March 2017 as they beat AFC Darwen 4-1 to record their first league win of the season. This was followed up three days later with a 2-1 victory against in-form Hanley Town. Ultimately, results elsewhere consigned Lairds to relegation by the end of March, but with a young, talented set of players and improvements off the pitch, the Club is now in a much stronger position ahead of the Division One campaign to follow in 2017/18.
