Taplow United FC.

Taplow United formerly, the Old Paludians Association, was formed in 1923 by former pupils of Slough Secondary School - re-named Slough Grammar School in 1936. Mr. E. Rutland-Clarke, headmaster of the school in 1923 and founder member of the Club, helped in the naming of the association. The name derived from the Latin word ‘PALUS’ meaning marsh, bog or slough.

The original club colours were chocolate, but these were quickly changed in 1926 to sky blue shirts, navy shorts and amber socks, the original colours of the school. The current strip of maroon shirts, shorts and socks is derived from the present school colours.

Taplow United’s home at the bottom of Berry Hill was acquired in 1955 and through the voluntary work of members a clubhouse was built, subsequently extended and is now being gradually modernised. The Club is now a Chartered Standard Community Club and provides a focus for male and female soccer, both adult and junior.

The Club fields two adult male teams on a Saturday in senior football and has a thriving youth soccer section. The Saturday sides play in the Uhlsport Hellenic League and Thames Valley Premier League, with the youth teams competing on Sunday’s. Ladies football has been running for a number years with the current team playing in the Thames Valley Counties Women's Football League.

In 1995 and 1996, the Men’s 1st team won the Slough Town Cup and finished runners-up. In those years, we finished in respectable positions in the Chiltonian Premier Division (now Hellenic Division 1).

Having spent a short spell in the East Berks league and the Reading League, and achieving respectable positions in Division 1 and the Premier, as well as a BTC Intermediate Cup win, the club has moved back to the Hellenic League and is currently competing in Division Two East.
