About the Club
04 Sep 2007

The club was formed in 2001 by Chairman Martin Hudson and former Club Secretary Steve Ringer and at that time, had four teams, two at Under 8 and one each at Under 10 and Under 11. All had success in that first season, the Under 8's finishing runners up in their division, the Under 10's winning the League Cup and the Under 11's sweeping the board by winning the League and League Cup.

The club has grown considerably since then and in August 2007 the club was awarded FA charter status. Season (2009/10)we will manage sides in the Blackwater & Dengie and Colchester & District Youth Leagues with age groups from Under 7 up to Under 18. Each age group will be managed by a qualified FA Coach, details of whom can be seen on their respective pages.

With the continued growth of the club the facilities @ Black Notley could not meet the clubs requirments.It was decided to look at leasing some land long term to be as self sufficient as possible.Summer 2009 saw the club enter into agreement with The Phoenix hockey club to lease the grass area at their club and sign up to exclusive use of the Astro pitch. The club then invested heavily in the facilities replacing all the goalposts (Football foundation funding). Historical drainage problems with the pitches have also been addressed with £6,000  investment and are steadily improving. More money on Improvements will be spent summer 2012.Whilst the club will continue to use Black Notley playing field the facilities at Bocking will become our primary location.
