West Jesmond AFC play in Division 1 of the Tyneside Amateur League.

The 2004/2005 season was our debutant season and proved relatively successful finishing fourth in the league after flirting with the top of the table.

Promotion was gained in the second campaign with the club finishing a respectful second behind a very useful Blyth Town Reserves side.

Further progress is required if we are to fulfil our ambition of reaching the Northern Alliance within 5 seasons.

Club Motto: donec ego abolesco - until I die.

The club play their home games at Paddy Freeman's Playing Fields, High Heaton, Newcastle- Upon- Tyne.

The team was founded by John Joyce, Ian Greenshields and Lee Marsh after playing for poorly organised teams and sharing the belief that we could run a team better.

In brief WJAFC is a club born out of other clubs ineptitude. A social experiment. A cultural melting pot where teachers meet students, 'dole dossers' meet lawyers and nationalities unite.

Based in the hotbed of football that is central Newcastle, WJAFC attempts to break down the class system in love of the beautiful game. Finely balanced on a shoe-string budget with lads who pay to play.
