The History of North Hayes Academicals |
The name "North Hayes Academicals" was originally used in a 5-a-side league at the Hayes Manor Sports Centre in the mid 1980s with no relevance other than the fact that Ian and Neil Russell thought it was a good name. At that time they played together with other friends in Saturday football in the London Old Boys League with Old Uxonians who had 6 teams. Within a couple of years the friends were spread out through the 6 teams so Martin Russell investigated the possibility of forming a new club. On May 19th 1988 the West Middlesex Football Combination interviewed the brothers Martin, Neil and Ian, and Julian Fox. They were elected to the Combination at the following month's AGM and decided to adopt the same name that had been used as a 5-a-side team. C J Russell Insurance Services provided a useful kit sponsorship and the team were ready for action. A home pitch was found by the Hillingdon Council at Brookside Road, Hayes.
The first season was competed quite well, but it was time to look for more talent. Advertisements were put in all the local papers and there was an excellent response. The new season provided the opportunity of having a reserve side in a lower Division, and home games would be played at the Hayes Manor Sports Centre. The season was a success with the first team earning promotion. However, an ambitious Committee Member, Andy Hewlett, decided the club were ready to move a step further. Not only would the club run 3 Saturday teams, but also the first team would play in the Middlesex County League. This was a feeder league within the Football Association's National Pyramid. The two seasons had their high points, but realistically the demands of running a club at such a high level took its toll. The decision was taken to go back to 2 teams, both playing in the West Middlesex Football Combination.
Within 2 years new players had made the club a formidable force. The club won its first ever League Cup Final and were promoted to Division One and even enjoyed a 3 - 1 victory over a Premier Division side in the Charity Cup. Then, in the 1994/95 season, North Hayes Academicals won the Division One League and Cup double at the first attempt.
The first 2 seasons in the Premier Division were quite successful with victories over notable opposition and mid-table finishes. In 1996/97 the team had a remarkable run in the Middlesex Intermediate Cup. They defeated Middlesex County League and London Commercial League teams before finally being knocked-out 2 - 0 by Hanwell Viaduct in the semi-finals, the club who went on to clinch the Cup.
Sadly, it turned out to be the end of a successful era. Injuries and other responsibilities left the team depleted for the 1997/98 season and the "Accies" were relegated to Division One. However, with the massive of boost of using Hayes Stadium for home matches, a new crop of youngsters appeared to be starting a revival and the team immediately returned to the Premier Division. A reserve side was still competing on Saturdays in Division Two of the same Combination.
The 1999/2000 was the first season back in the Premier Division, and saw the team reach it's best ever position (3rd). The following year, the team continued to progress by reaching the Premier Division Challenge Cup Final, which went into the second half of extra-time before Hillingdon Village scored the decisive golden goal.
The 2001/02 season was notable for the first ever success for the reserve team, as Peter Horrocks lead the side to a Division Two League Cup win.
At the end of that season, the West Middlesex Football Combination dissolved, and the club decided to join the Middlesex County Football League once again. The first team competing in Division Two, while the reserve side were in the Junior Reserves Division. In 2005 the first team reached the Division Two Cup Final, defeated only on penalties by the league champions. The reserves reached their league cup final in 2006, while the first team finished runners-up in Division 2 to clinch promotion to the highest level of football the club has ever been involved in.
Success has continued this season as in addition to the reserves reaching their league cup final once again, the first team have created history by winning the 108th Middlesex Junior County Cup Final.
With the first team management of Andy Revelle & Ian Quinlan steping down, and a number of players leaving the club, the 2007/08 season kicked off with only 1 Saturday team, and the reduced playing strength being allowed to compete in Division 2. Rosedale College (formerly called Hayes Manor School) is the home ground once again.
