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.

Bugbroooke St Michaels Football Club would like to place on record our thanks to our team of volunteers, our advertisers and sponsors.
FEMALE FOOTBALL
##HERGAMETOO HERGAMETOO @ THE SETT
I’m really proud that we’ve created a new U18 Girls team this season as part of the ongoing development of the female pathway here at the Sett. The reaction from everyone at the club has been incredibly supportive and myself, Bob (Assistant Coach), Zara (Physio), as well as the players and parents have all been impressed by the warm welcome we’ve received.
The girls play in the Beds FA Girls Football League and despite being a new team, we’ve challenged ourselves by going into Division 1. Our season started with a tough trip to Luton Town ending up on the wrong side of a 7 goal thriller,losing 4-3. The following week we hosted Chesham Utd for our first ever game at the Sett winning 2-1 and earning our first points of the season.
U17/U18 is a difficult age group for female footballers – there are lots of competing pressures including education and exams. The situation is made harder as lots of youth football clubs finish at U16 - players often have nowhere to go and many stop playing altogether. We’re delighted to be able to provide the girls with a new opportunity – players have joined us from as far afield as Corby and Dunstable – and although it’s still early days the squad is coming together really nicely.
Bugbrooke has a fantastic reputation for developing young players and we want to continue this on the female side. Our main aim this season is to be competitive in Div 1, however the U18s also provides a pathway into the Ladies Team and we hope to see some of our players stepping up through the season and playing at a higher level.
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone at the club who has helped us so far and of course to our new sponsors Compressed Air Technologies and Challenge-trg Recruitment.

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

WHOARETHEY?
Oadby Town Football Club
Riverside / GNG FC Football Grounds, Leicester
The exact year of formation is unsure but it is believed to be either 1937 or 1939 under the guise of Oadby Imperial. The club did not have to wait long for their first honours winning the “City Medals” competition in the 1939–40 season Around 1943 the club merged with a local junior side to become Oadby United, two years later in 1949 they reverted to original name of Oadby Imperial which coincided being accepted into the Leicestershire Senior League Division 2 for the 1949–50 season. The first season saw the club finish in 11th place out of 16. In 1951 Oadby Imperial changed their name to become Oadby Town FC.
In the same year they won the Leicestershire Senior LeagueDivision Two Championship and were promoted to Division One (later Division One became the Premier League and Division Two became Division OThe 1956–57 season saw the club finish as runners-up in the Leicestershire Senior League to Leicester City ‘A’ and also were runners-up to Whitwick Colliery in the Coalville Charity Cup.
It wasn’t until 1963 that the club won its first major honours winning the Leicestershire Senior Cup for the first time beating Newfoundpool WMC in the final. The following season saw three pieces of silverware collected. As well as retaining their Leicestershire Senior Cup crown, Oadby also were Leicestershire Senior League champions for the first time and won the Coalville Charity Cup for a second time. It was to be a further four years (1967–68) for Oadby to regain the Senior League crown and for good measure they retained their Senior League title the following year and also added the Leicestershire Challenge and Rolleston Charity Cups. A fourth Senior League crown was achieved in the 1972–73 season. This was to be the last league title for over twenty years as it was not until the 1994–95 season that they regained the title. Titles six, seven and eight came in three consecutive years between 1997 and 1999, the latter resulting in promotion to the Midland Football Alliance Oadby Town have won the Leicestershire Senior League eight times and been runners-up seven times.
In the 1999–2000 season they joined the Midland Football Alliance, and in their first season in this league they were crowned champions. In the 2002–03 season Oadby Town were FA Vase semi-finalists, losing out to Brigg Town 3–1 on aggregate. The 2004–05 season saw the club win their first Leicestershire Challenge Cup crown for over 30 years and 3rd in total, beating fellow Midland Alliance side Barwell 2–1 at the Walkers Stadium in Leicester. The 2006–07 season saw Oadby enter the Rolleston Charity Cup for the first time in nine years and winning the competition for a ninth time beating Barwell 2–1 in the final at Holmes Park. The following season saw Oadby retain the Rolleston Charity Cup beating favourites Hinckley United 4–1 in the final. On top of that they won the Leicestershire Challenge Cup for the fourth time beating Friar Lane & Epworth 3–0 at the Walkers Stadium. In 2010–11 Oadby Town finished 22nd in the Midland Football Alliance and were relegated to the East Midlands Counties League.
Lee Harriman, former Coalville Town chief, was appointed manager for the 2011–12 season. Oadby managed a successful season with a decent run in the FA Vase, being the only team from below Step 5 to reach the 5th Round, losing to Staveley Miners Welfare.

United Counties Premier Division South
Oadby Town moved across to the United Counties League Division One (Step 6) for the 2012–13 season. Turbulent times followed over a few seasons with various management changes and inevitable financial pressures forcing the committee to regrettably resign the club from the United Counties League towards the end of last season due to unsustainable financial pressures. The club was fortunately reinstated without hesitation or fear of further stresses and strains by a fresh consortium with some existing staff and players.
Mid 2019 - A fresh new management team and board stepped in who are all enthusiastic and committed to help sustain the clubs 80 year history and add strength , stability and who knows maybe some success.
For this historic Leicestershire football club , The new management , The players and The fantastic supporters….old and new.
