===Cogenhoe United Football Club===
{{main|Cogenhoe United F.C.}}

Their early days were not documented and are now obscure. Inter-village friendlies gradually led to membership of the now extinct Central Village League. A variety of pitches were used until in 1950 the first game, against Northampton Yeomanry, was played on the then new playing field. United ceased to exist after 1958, and re-formed for the 1967-8 season, competing in the Central Northants Football Combination. By 1978 the club had progressed from the Second Division into the Premier Division. In a six-year period thirteen winners' and six runners-up trophies were won. Development of facilities became paramount for promotion into the [[United Counties Football League]]. A lease on {{convert|3.6|acre|m2}} of agricultural land was obtained from the [[Marquis of Northampton]]. Compton Park was now on the map and purpose-built facilities were developed with a spectator stand and the team gained promotion into the UCFL for the season 1985-6.<ref>Cogenhoe United FC official website</ref>
