About the club
Club History
Beechfield United was established in 1980 by the late Barry Salisbury and Colin Roden. The name originates from the Beechfield Housing Estate in Swinton where the first games were played. The first team to carry the Beechfield name was an Under 15′s team who played in the now defunct Worsley and District League.
Due to incessant vandalism Beechfield played just one season at Beechfield it then moved to Brookhouse in Eccles. The Club moved to Beechfarm its current home in 1982.
In 2003 Beechfield became an F.A. Charter Standard Development Club.
