[edit] History
Malvern Town were formed shortly after World War II and joined the Worcestershire Combination in 1955, becoming champions at the first attempt. They remained in the league, later renamed the Midland Combination, until 1979 and only twice finished outside the top ten, although they never managed to claim another title. For the 1979-80 season they switched to the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division but found success harder to come by. In 1992 they were relegated to Division One but two years later returned to the higher level despite only having finished 9th - the reasons for this are unclear.
In the 2003-04 season the club were West Midlands (Regional) League champions and were promoted to the Midland Football Alliance. In 2006 a third-place finish was enough to secure a place in the newly-formed Southern League Division One Midlands.
