After many years of competitive friendlies we joined the Herts League. Since its restructuring in 2000 our first XI were confined to division 6 for many years. However, after narrowly missing promotion several years in a row, in 2009 we finished third in the league to finally go up. We consolidated our position in division 5 in the following years, finishing in the top half of the table.
Our second XI have struggled since the restructuring of the league, with three successive relegations in the early noughties. We consolidated our position in division 11 for many years, though a poor season last see us facing relegation again. However, with the colts going from strength to strength and with a few new players we look forward to trying to buck this trend this year.
Our colts were formed in 1995 by club legends Jim Grocott and John Rose, joining the Middlesex Colts leagues a couple of years after. After some good initial seasons, Derrick Worth, took over the colts and added some much need impetus. The colts are now run by Andy "Boris" Grayson, with the help of Keith Walker and an ever growing team of coaches. The past few seasons have been successful with our under 11s and under 15s winning league titles.
