Grampound Football Club has been in existence for over 100 years and its home is at Grampound Recreation Ground in the centre of the village, which is itself situatedin the heart of Cornwall. The club enjoys exceptional changing facilities in Grampound Community Hall (opened 2003) in the Recreation Ground and in recent years has been running two men's teams in the Bodmin Trophies Duchy League, acknowledged as one of the best organised in the south west. The League, of which Grampound is a founder member, is made up of teams from the eastern half of Cornwall and has become so popular and successful that it has also attracted a number of clubs from West Devon into membership.As part of its development, the club has also run a boys youth team (Under-15) and a Veterans team in the season 2007-8.
The club's badge is taken from the ancient seal of Grampound, which shows a representation of Grampound's bridge (the settlement is named after the bridge –
‘Grand Pont’, Norman French for ‘Great Bridge’) and reflects our roots in the local community.
