Ide Hill FC were offically formed in 1923 and became an affiliated member of the FA in 1924. However it is widely rumoured that football was played in Ide Hill from 1901, when a member of the Boakes family, who had just successfully won the Sevenoaks Charity Cup with Holmesdale FC, decided to bring his friends along to what is now known as the recreation ground in Ide Hill. The football club's home pitch has remained the same since and is located behind The Cock Inn pub in the picturesque village of Ide Hill. As per the village church, the football pitch has the distinction of being the highest in Kent.Today, Ide Hill, with a £250,000 new changing facility, boasts four adult teams, a Women's side and 8 youth teams. The club has been constantly growing in numbers and is no longer the one team village club it used to be. The 2022/23 season will also see the launch of a new Sunday Socials men's side, in order to help the transition of players from our u16 and u18 sides into our adult sides.
