First year as a club, and put straight into Division 2. Not an easy season, with our first league win actually not coming until 16th Nov with a 6-1 hammering of Cutnall Green - long overdue, but worth it! First win of the season was actually in the Bernard Finegan, 14th Sept, when we beat Bedwardine, but we were expelled from the tournament as we had fielded a player who did not qualify. Secretary on a learning curve! The County Cup pitted us against a Kiidy Div 1 team, Areley Kings, and on a scorching hot day at the end of October, we lost 2-0 after extra time. Finished next to bottom in the division, but were not relegated as a re-shuffle of the leagues left us still in division 2. Top scorers for the club were Lee Grubb (15), Mike Freestone (7), Wayne Hadley-Chisam (6), and Pat Badham (5). Highlight of the season has to be Grubby's famous windmill from 2 yards out! League record reads P22 W3 D5 L14 37-73 Pts14
2004 / 2005 (14/09/07)
Had a much better season this time around.After losing the first league game by the odd goal in 9 at home to Droitwich Spa Eagles, we the won 8-1 at home to Littleworth, sandwiching a 4-1 home victory vs Northwick vale in between in the Bernard Finegan! Was this to be the year?Prinner Sports put paid to our Nursing Cup hopes, but then 3 league wins on the bounce put us 2nd in the division. Another Kiddy Div 1 team, Headless Cross, sorted us out in the County Cup, and local rivals Claines give us a 7-0 thumping in the BF!, a game that saw Jay Widdett sent off after a blatent dive by "soon to be ours" Sliwa. Indifferent form followed during Jan and Feb, and we eventually finished mid-table, although after the initial season, not bad at all. Top scorers were Lee Grubb(22), Pat Badham(7), Mike Freestone(5), and everyone else chucking in with 2 or 3 apiece League record reads P26 W10 D2 L14 55-71 Pts32
2005 / 2006 (14/09/07)
Another resonable season. Started off really well with 3 wins in the first 5 games, and in this run was a County Cup fixture against a team from, you guessed it, Kiddy Div 1! Bewdley Town were our hosts on day when we were thumped 4-0, but who wants the Cup anyway! The BF put us against Ronkswood who put us out 5-1, one week after beating us in the leagu 3-2. But the Nursing Cup was being kind and we got to the semi-final against my rivals CMB Sports who were doing well in the league, ut the semi was a hard fought even game where we took the lead through Pat Badham, but gave away 2 sloppy goals either side of half time. We changed things about and put them under pressure, and were awarded apenallty that Chico, our usual penalty taker, was talked out of. Webby took it, saved, and the dream was over ... but it was nice to have a decent cup run at last. Top scorers were, Lee Grubb(23), Wayne Hadley-Chisam(11), Pat Badham(9), Danny Ford)6), James Sliwa(5) League record reads P30 W15 D2 L13 79-665 Pts47
2006 / 2007 (14/09/07)
After two fairly decent seasons, this was not so good. Sorely missed up front was Grubby who hung his boots up for time with his young fanily, and finding a replacement for him was never going to be easy.Actually started the season fairly well, and up to Xmas we were in the top 5 despite a 6 point penalty from the League for a secretarial error of signing 3 players on the day of a game, secretary still on learning curve, and in with a shout of pushing for promotion, but then a cock-up and half by the Leagu's fixture gave us a pitiful 4 games over an 11 week period in which we lost momentum, and started to find not playing regular was not helping. Our last 12 league games saw only 2 wins, and a slide down the table to finish 3rd from bottom , on goal difference only, therefore only just avoiding relegation. The Bernard Finegan saw is get a tanking by Barbourne Ex 6-1 in Nov, and the wonderful County Cup at last made a change from the norm and put us against Harriers Trust who beat us 4-1 so no cup runs this year ... and yes, only kidding (pun), Harriers Trust play in ... Kiddy Div 1 !!! Top scorers for the year were Pat Badhan(10), James Sliwa and Danny Ford(9), Richard Hughes(8) and only played half the season - was he the new Grubby?, and Dave Green(4) League record reads P22 W7 D3 L12 54-63 Pts18
