Recent History

Longlevens AFC were long time occupiers of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League 1 until 2011 when they finally achieved promotion to the Gloucestershire County League. Longlevens managed to win this league on their 2nd attempt in the division narrowly beating Tuffley Rovers to the title. In their 3rd season of the County league they retained the title and also won League Cup completing an excellent league and cup double. After a tremendous bout of work by the players and staff at Saw Mills End, Longlevens also managed to achieve promotion to Hellenic League One West for the following season. Longlevens managed to win this league on their 1st attempt again narrowly beating Tuffley Rovers FC and Lydney Town FC to the title. Longlevens were again promoted, this time to the Hellenic Premier League which is the highest level that the club as ever achieved. Longlevens made their 1st appearance in The FA Vase trophy losing narrowly to Hartley and Whitney FC 3-2.

They were promoted to the Hellenic Football League in 2014. The club were champions of the Gloucestershire County League in 2012–13 and 2013–14, and were subsequently Hellenic Division One West champions in 2014–15.[1]
