Wiki states: Cullompton Rangers Football Club is a football club based in Cullompton, Devon, England. Formed in 1945, the club was among the founding members of the Devon County League in 1992. The club played in the Devon County League for 15 years, finishing as runners-up twice, before the league merged with the South Western Football League to form the South West Peninsula League in 2007.
They have been accepted for the FA Vase in recent seasons, but have only made the competition proper twice.
Cullompton Rangers play at Speeds Meadow.

Cully - as they're known locally - were in the Devon & Exeter League until 1992. Not much joy in the FA Vase - only two games won in nine seasons - and this season they were involved in a controversial game against Willand which the FA declared void because of an error by the referee.
Don't expect palatial surroundings but, all told, it's a decent set-up. A good advert, in fact, for what can be achieved by a small-town community football club with teams from U9s upwards as well as a women's side.
It'll be a big night for them as it's only their second year in the Bowl having lost to Willand at the first hurdle last season.

The small football pitch between their main one and the M5 was where I scored my first ever goal for Hatherleigh Town AFC. I was 15 and it was a great finish.
That is all.
