WELCOME TO FROM THE CHAIRMAN... FROM THE CHAIRMAN...
THE SETT
As Chairman of Bugbrooke St Michaels Football Club, I would like to offer you a warm welcome to The Sett and I hope that you have an enjoyable visit.
Here at Bugbrooke St Michaels we are working hard to develop a club with a strong inclusive ethos, offering opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.
We are extremely proud of our youth development programme, supporting players from seven all the way up to eighteen. Many of our young players go on to have success with one of our adult teams, with some players going on to even bigger and better things!
There is a great wealth of local support for the club, everyone that helps does so on a voluntary basis and through everyone’s hard work and dedication we have been able to achieve and maintain FA Accredited status.
Whilst some clubs choose to reinvest their revenue into players and wages, here at Bugbrooke we hold a different set of values. All of our profits go into upgrading our equipment and facilities, building a solid future-proof foundation that will be here for future generations to enjoy.
Whilst this can sometimes hold us back from gaining huge success on the pitch, we feel our excellent facilities, youth development programme and ethos on community sets us apart from other clubs.
Success and progression starts from the beginnings.
Thank you for your support today, we hope that you enjoy the game, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Kevin Gardner, Chairman

OUR HISTORY BUGBROOKE ST MICHAELS FC
Formed in 1929, Bugbrooke St Michaels Football Club took over from Bugbrooke United who folded in 1928 after being in existence since 1910.
The club, which is named after the local St Michael’s and All Angels Church, initially took its place in the Northants Central Village League and had immense success, winning the league title from 1931 to 1937
The club closed for the Second World War before reforming in 1947 and were once again successful, winning the CVL title from 1947 to 1950, and were Northants Lower Junior Cup runners-up in 1949, a feat repeated in 1954.
We finally won the N F A Lower Junior Cup in 1956 and followed this in 1957 by winning the prestigious Daventry Charity Cup
The club had its most successful years from 1966 to 1972 when we won the Northants Central Combination Premier title and again from 1976 to 1979 with 1977 also seeing us win the N.F.A Lower Junior Cup again.
The club continued to succeed in the Northants Combination until 1987 when we took the decision to join the United Counties League.
At this time, we decided to run two teams in the U.C.L and two teams in the C.N.C. We also began our youth section and have continued this ever since. Today we run 4 adult sides, including a recently formed Ladies team as well as 15 youth teams.
The club has continued to enjoy success across all age groups over those 30 years, the most notable being N F A Junior Cup winners in 1992, N.F.A Lower Junior Cup in 1993, and U.C.L Division One winners in 2001.
The reputation for producing successful youth teams has increased over those years and 4 of our youth players (under 16) have been signed by professional league clubs
The achievements of the club on the field have always been supported by a hardworking committee whose chief officers are recorded on a roll in the clubhouse flyer They, along with the supporters of the club, have built up the excellent changing room sand clubhouse since 1980
We hope that you enjoy the facilities that they have provided over those years, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future

Club History
AFC Rushden & Diamonds were formed in July 2011 following the demise of Rushden & Diamonds FC as a supporter-owned, supporter-run football club.
After a season in youth football in 2011/12 they were allocated a place in the United Counties League Division One for 2012/13 (Step 6 of Non-League Football). Diamonds gained promotion in second spot in that league at the end of their first season and followed that with third place in the UCL Premier Division before winning the title in the 2014/15 season, backed up with the League Cup. This meant they won promotion to the Southern Football League Division One Central at Step 4.
In 2015/16 Diamonds finished fifth in the SL1C, reaching the play-off final and winning their County Cup. They were transferred to the Northern Premier League First Division South for the 2016/17 season where they again reached the end of season play-offs. For 2017/18 they returned to the Southern League to play in Division One East, known as EVO-Stik League South, East, winning promotion at the end of that season to Step 3 of Non-League Football.
For the next 5 seasons Diamonds played in the Southern League Premier Division Central and finished the 2021/22 season in 6th place, missing out on the final play-off spot on the last day of the season.
The 2022/23 campaign proved to be the undoing for the Diamonds, eventually leading to their relegation to Step 4 of the Non-League Football pyramid. The 2023/2024 season was another difficult one.
Following a dismal start and the subsequent departure of Chris Nunn in October 2023, new player/manager Michael Harriman, supported by club legend Tom Lorraine, set about rebuilding the squad. Results started to gradually improve, with the Diamonds putting in much better performances towards the end of the season. Despite winning away from home on the last day of the campaign, it wasn’t enough to secure safety as they finished second from bottom. However, the resignation of Loughborough Dynamo led to the Diamonds receiving a reprieve to remain at Step 4 for the 2024/2025 season.
