The new Chard Town Colts were formed in 2004. We started life in Division 4 of the Perry Street league, wher in our first season we got promoted to Division 3 by finishing 2nd to White Horse Reserves (would of finished champions if we did not get points deducted!), we also managed to win both league cups with wins over Hawkchuc Res & Thorncombe Res.
In 2005 we lost many players to our reserve team, which meant we were short of players from the start, but after a hard season we stayed up and with only 1 more victory we could have finished 5th instead of 3rd from bottom. We made one semi-final after a win against Perry Street Res, but lost in the end to Hawkchurch.
Staying in Division 3 this season has given us a platform to build on and going into the 2006-2007 season, we have made several good signings, we have a brand new kit and a brand new web site. The future of the Colts team is looking bright & orange!!
