Welcome!

Pinhoe Spartans Youth Football Club was founded in 1979 with two teams formed at the under 13`s and under 15`s age group, both teams played at Station Road Pinhoe. Some of the early coaches at the club were George Kent who became the chief scout to Exeter City Football Club, Keith Skinner and John Allen.

The club has been full of success since forming and has gone from strength to strengh winning many age group trophies in both the league and also the cup competitions. In 2001 the club became the first Exeter side for 19 years to win the Devon League Cup, quickly followed by another success in 2001 thanks to the great efforts of the team coach, Ian Frankum.
