Poole Town Wessex started with just one team in 1998 – then known as Ashdown Rovers. Expansion rapidly followed, and by 2004 Ashdown Rovers had more than 25 teams playing within various leagues across Dorset. This includes girls, mixed and Ability Counts teams. In 2007 Ashdown Rovers became affiliated with Poole Town FC and was renamed Poole Town FC Wessex.

​The club has gone from strength to strength ever since, providing opportunities for hundreds of kids and youth players to develop throughout the years in a fun and inclusive environment. In 2023, Poole Town FC Wessex became incorporated as a Community Interest Company (CIC), providing a firm basis for further development and many more years of community focused activity.

Although Poole Town FC and Poole Town FC Wessex operate as independent organisations, the link between both clubs provides a pathway from U6s through to the U23 and 1st Team men’s squads and the Reserves and First Team Poole Town Ladies squads.

Poole Town FC Wessex currently has 21 teams, incorporating Youth (boys, girls and mixed) and Ability Counts teams.  These teams play in the Dorset League, Dorset Youth Football League, Dorset Ability Counts League, Bournemouth Youth Football League and Hampshire Combination & Development Football League.

Everyone involved with Poole Town FC Wessex does so on a voluntary basis and without them the Club would not be as successful as it is.
