Brief History Of Roydon Football Club
06 Mar 2006

Roydon Football Club was formed in around 1901.

The club were members of the Hertford & District League from around this time right up until 2000/01, when they were granted Intermediate status by the County and took the step up into the Essex Olympian Football League (then the Essex Intermediate League)

The first ever recorded Roydon FC result was a 6-1 defeat to Harlow Town Reserves on Saturday 5th October 1901.

First ever recorded honours came in the 1925/1926 season, where the club were crowned Hertford & District League Second Division Champions.

Roydon signed off from the Hertford & District League in 2000/2001 by winning the Premier Division & Jubilee Cup double, winning both of these honours for the first time.

Roydon's biggest county honour came in that season, when the Reserve side came out as Winners of Group A of the Essex Junior Cup, before a 3-1 defeat to Tillingham Hotspur in the overall semi-finals of the competition.

In the clubs first season in the Essex Intermediate League both sides found themselves promoted, from Senior Division Three, and Reserve Division Three respectively.

The first team spent two seasons consolidating in the Second Division, before sealing Promotion as Runners Up of Senior Division Two in 2004/5, missing out on the Championship by a single point.

Now in the top league of amateur football in Essex, it has been an eventful half a dozen years for the Harlow Road men.
