Chester St Oswalds F.C. were a football club based in Chester, England.

History

The club was formed by Mr L Bebbington as some point in 1883.

A Special General Meeting in July 1887 lists the club captain as John Thompson, with vice captain Tom Pixton, and Mr Bennion as reserve captain. Prior to this John Boardman had been captain for two seasons. In 1889 Francis Jayne the Bishop of Chester became patron of the club and contributed towards it financially, but on the basis that the club would fight against the evils of professionalism.

The club competed in the 1889-90 FA Cup, losing 3–0 against Chester FC. Its stance against professionalism proved disastrous as, without attractive opponents, the club ran out of money, and was dissolved on 26 January 1892 due to financial difficulties.

The St Oswalds name was revived in June 1898 when Chester P.S.A. changed their name.

Colours

The club adopted white and blue vertical stripes in July 1887.

Ground

The club originally played on the Roodee, but moved to Exton Park in Parkgate Road in July 1887. The club lost the use of the ground at the end of the 1887–88 season, but quickly found a new one on the same site before the start of the next.
