HISTORY
22 Oct 2006

THE CLUB WAS FOUNDED IN THE YEAR 2000 BY DENE GOVUS, BILLY BAROT AND GARY MOORE AS A YOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB BUT WAITED UNTIL JANUARY 2001 TO ENTER THE LEAGUE. THE CLUB ENTERED TWO TEAMS INTO THE HARROW YOUTH LEAGUE FOR PHASE 2 OF THE 2000/2001 SEASON THE TEAMS WERE THE UNDER 9s RUN BY GARY MOORE/DENE GOVUS, AND THE UNDER 7s RUN BY DAVID GRANT/DAVE LEPAGE.BY THE TIME SEASON 2001/2002 HAD STARTED THE CLUB HAD GAINED ANOTHER 3 TEAMS WITH WASPS ENTERING A TOTAL OF 5 TEAMS THAT SEASON INTO THE LEAGUE.SEASON 2002/2003 SAW US INTRODUCING A FIRST INTO THE BOROUGH BY STARTING UP A GIRLS TEAM IN WHAT WAS UP UNTIL THEN PREDOMINATELY A BOYS CLUB. SEASON 2002/2003 SAW US ENTER 10 TEAMS INTO THE LEAGUE INCLUDING THE GIRLS INTO THE FIRST SEASON OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY GIRLS LEAGUE IN WHICH THEY FINISHED SECOND , OUR UNDER 9sA WON THEIR LEAGUE. SEASON 2003/2004 SAW US ENTER A RECORD 13 TEAMS INTO THE LEAGUE WITH TWO TEAMS FINISHING RUNNERS UP IN THEIR PROSPECTIVE LEAGUES THEY WERE THE UNDER 12sA ALONGSIDE THE UNDER 13s , THE UNDER 13s GIRLS WON THEIR LEAGUE UNBEATEN.IN LATE 2004 WE DECIDED THAT THE BEST WAY TO PROGRESS THE CLUB ACROSS THE BOARD WOULD BE TO FORM AN ADULTS TEAM THAT THE YOUTH TEAMS COULD EVENTUALLY MOVE UP TO,THERE WAS SOME OPPOSITION FROM A COUPLE OF MANAGERS IN THE YOUTH SET UP WHO THOUGHT WE WOULD THEN IGNORE THE YOUTH TEAMS AND JUST FOCUS ON THE ADULTS WHICH WE NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL DO. IN 2005 WE ASSEMBLED A TEAM WHO WERE MAINLY FROM OUR UNDER 15s TWO YEARS PREVIOUSLY. OBVIOUSLY THE MAJORITY OF OUR PLAYERS ARE VERY YOUNG AND HAVE FOUND THE SWITCH TO ADULT FOOTBALL VERY HARD BUT SHOW GOOD POTENTIAL. THE BEIGINING OF 2006/2007 SAW AN EXODUS OF TEAMS JOINING A RIVAL CLUB NEXT DOOR ON THE CONTEXT OF THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.AMAZINGLY THE VERY RULES WE TRIED TO IMPLEMENT AND WERE LAUGHED AT THEY NOW EMPLOY THEMSELVES, STILL WE KEPT THE BEST OF THE TEAMS WITH US INCLUDING THE UNDER 7s (UNBEATEN THIS YEAR WHO THEY NEARLY GOT WHEN THEIR COACH TRIED TO DECIEVE THE PARENTS WHO NOW RUN THE TEAM VERY SUCCESFULLY).WE STILL HAVE SEVEN MAIN TEAMS PLUS THE UNDER 6s COMING THROUGH.WHAT HAPPENS THIS YEAR REMAINS TO BE SEEN BUT HOPEFULLY MORE TROPHIES WILL BECKON.
