Club History 5 of 7

5. The 2010's


SEASON 2010/11 - The First team finished in the highest position, runners up to Chalfont St Peter in the SSMFL Premier Division, in their history so far. They also won the St. Mary's Cup for the fifth time, defeating Leverstock Green 2-1 after extra time. The season finished with a 2-0 defeat to Royston Town in the South Midland Floodlight Cup Final.

SEASON 2011/12 - Julian Robinson and Tony Armitage took charge in the summer of 2011 knowing that many of last years successful First Team had departed. A great re-building job was underatken with a very credible 6th position achieved in the league and defeats by the odd goal in 3 cup semi finals. A good influx of younger players with a years experience behind them will hopefully provide the base for a good start to next season. The Reserves also had a good season blooding a large number of players and again have a young group of players to move forward with. The Ladies had their best ever season winning their league and reaching the County Cup Final for the first time where they were not disgraced when defeated by Arsenal Ladies. Our Youth team also won their league and will play in a floodlit mid-week league next season.

SEASON 2012/13 - Mixed season with the 1st team winning their initial F A Cup tie at Bedfont and then losing in the next round to Ashford Town after a replay, in the F A Vase we lost at first hurdle to FC Romania. In the League we finished just below half way, lost on penalties to Hadley in the semi final of the Premier Division Cup and were finalists in the St Mary's Cup losing to local rivals Berkhamsted. Midway through the season Tony Armitage left and Ian Richardson stepped up from the Reserves to assist Julian Robinson. Long serving, Stuart Stedman, was appointed coach to assist Colin Phillips with the Reserves who again had an excellent year bringing many players through to the First team. The "A" Team, under Dave Adamson and James Bevan won the West Herts Peace Memorial Cup for the first time in the Club's history. The "B" team and Youth teams were well run whilst unfortunately the Ladies team withdrew from their league through lack of players.

SEASON 2014/15 - The First Team finished 10th in SSMFL fielding a young side, the Reserves found the SFL Premier Division tough but had some great trips to senior clubs and start season 2015-16 in the North Division. The U18's had a tough year but a number of players progressed through to the Reserves and First Team. The U15's also found life tough having gained promotion the previous year. The First team completed their season losing by a single late goal to Hemel Hempstead and gave a credible performance in the Final of the St Mary's Cup in front of a big crowd.

SEASON 2015/16 - The First Team won the St Mary's Cup for the 5th time defeating Sun Sports 2-0 and finished mid-table in the SSMFL Premier Division. The Reserves did the "double by winning the Suburban Football League North Division and also the Challenge Plate Competition defeating Cray Athletic 2-0. The U16's just missed out on winning the league in the final season as a group of players.

SEASON 2018/19 - The First Team were Runners Up in SSMFL Premier Division. The Reserves were Suburban Football League Central Division Champions and the "A" Team were Herts Junior Cup Winners and West Herts Senior Cup Finalists.

SEASON 2019/20 - This will go down in history, both in the nation's and the club's, as a season that was not completed due to a worldwide virus COVID-19. When the season was drawn to an early close the First Team were in second place in the Premier Division and it was also memorable, in so far as, a complete team, management and players, departed and a new Committee was formed following an Extraordinary Meeting in February 2020.
