Hoddesdon Town Football Club is a2 Star England Football Accredited Football Club. Being part of our community is important to the Club, working with our 27 teams in our Youth Section and our fellow tenants Hoddesdon Cricket Club to form a One Town One Club Ethos. We expect everyone connected with the Club to be respectful, disciplined and responsible. Our young players will learn the game in a positive environment. Hoddesdon Town FC is a Club, a team, a family not individuals.
Hoddesdon FC was founded on 14th April,1879, before changing the name to Hoddesdon Town FC in 1909.and is one of the oldest Clubs in Hertfordshire.
They were Co- Founders of Hertfordshire FA in 1884 and were the first Winners of the Herts Challenge Cup (Senior Cup) in 1887, a feat they repeated in 1887/88 and 1889/90.
Over the Seasons the Club have played in several different Leagues as they made their journey through the football pyramid, enjoying both success and suffering disappointment in equal measure along the way.
The Club’s most successful Season came in 1970-71 when playing in the Spartan League they achieved an unprecedented treble, winning the Spartan League Championship & Challenge Cup and Herts Charity Shield.
. But this was to be eclipsed on Saturday 19th April 1975 when at Wembley Stadium they beat Epsom & Ewell 2-1 to become the first ever Winners of the FA Vase securing their place in FA History.
At the end of Season 2022/23 the Club was relegated on the final day of the Season from the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division to The Thurlow Nunn Division1 South League. Season 2023/24 started well for the Team winning its first two matches. But there followed an unprecedented series of five matches being postponed in the first two months of the Season. This lack of matches and a never-ending list of injuries to players robbed the Team of any consistency and as the year ended, they were rock bottom of the League.
A fresh start in the New Year with the return to fitness of key Players and being able to play a settled squad saw the Team’s performances improve and the confidence from winning games saw the results improve and they finished a creditable tenth position in the League. The improvement was boosted by good performances in the Herts Senior Centenary Trophy which saw them through to the Final where they beat Royston Town U23s in a dramatic penalty shootout.
The Club has a thriving Youth Section which has 25 Teams and with changes to the Youth Team’s key Officers we have built a great relationship which sees them make use of Lowfield as their Home.
Hutton Football Club is an FA Charter Standard Community Football Club. Being part of our community is important to the Club. We expect everyone connected with the Club to be respectful, disciplined and responsible Our young players will learn the game in a positive environment Hutton FC is a Club, a team, a family not individuals
The club was founded in 1928 and has been prominent in local football since that time with cup winner’s medals dating back to 1932 A key factor in the continued success of Hutton Football Club is the progression of young, local players The senior teams played in the Mid Essex League until 1989 when progression was made into the Essex Intermediate, now the Essex Olympian League The Club expanded rapidly after 2005 with the merger of Hutton FC and Hutton Medway FC (established in 1969) The Club now has 70 teams based in our local community
The current club house has been at the Polo Fields for over 50 years, two previous buildings being destroyed by fire, and the second one having been struck by lightning In 2010, the Clubhouse was vandalised and set on fire but has now been repaired and enhanced thanks to a large grant from Sport England.
Recent history has seen more rapid developments at the club The Football Association awarded Hutton FC with Charter Standard Community status which is the highest accreditation a club can achieve In 2005, when the award was granted, there were only nine clubs in the whole of Essex with this status. The Club is very proud to have been awarded Community Club of the year twice by Essex County FA The club has been encouraging girls to come and play for a number of years, and in 2005 the first official Hutton girls’ team was formed and since then, our Ladies 1st and reserve teams have been added to help with progression.
The Club has been involved in a European Tournament played against professional clubs' youth teams, with outstanding facilities. The Clubs are; Saint Ingbert (Germany), Rumelange (Luxembourg) and Zandhoven (Belgium). The tournament celebrates its 50th year in 2025.

Our last home game was very exciting for all who come to watch. I think we made more work of it than we should have, but was impressed to see two back to back wins where we scored 4 goals in each.
We then yet again had another weekend without a game. I feel this hurt us going into a massive game against AS London, who played on the wednesday before our fixture. This was evident in the first 45 minutes as they were 20 up within 25 minutes and looking much sharper. The second half was all us. I think they managed one shot in the half compared to our 10+. It was not the result we wanted and has put us in a tough position, but the second half has given us a boost going into tonights game.
Hoddesdon have always been a great club to host and I am looking forward to having them over.

1ST TEAM MANAGER
Sunday was a historic day for Hutton FC and their girls and ladies section as the First team took on Leyton Orient in the Adobe FA Cup 3rd round qualifier for a place in the 1st Round Proper awaiting the winners
Our Ladies First team managed by Darren Stacey and Luke Stone have had a good start to the season winning 4 of their 5 league games and beating Clapton and higher division opponents Enfield in previous Fa Cup rounds Leyton Orient came to Hannakins Farm Community Centre having recently acquired a major investment from a USA source into their womens section and boasting ex USA International striker Stephanie McCaffrey in their starting line up
With a crowd of over 150 people this contest kicked off and it was Hutton that started the more confident passing the ball around in midfield and only took 5 minutes when young right winger Holly Appleton,who only turned 18 the day before, was played through by a delightful ball by captain Abi Carke ,her speed allowing her to drive into the box and getting her shot away which was finely saved by the Orient keeper Hutton kept up the pressure and 5 minutes later opened the scoring when midfielder Millie Staceys ball clipped over the top of Orients defense saw striker Daisy Canny run on to and lob the goalkeeper from 25 yards ,1-0 Hutton
From then on it was Leyton Orient who settled the better team and although having more of the ball couldnt find a way through the hard tackling Hutton midfield or defence Orient had only two half chances the rest of the half untill the 43rd minute when a quality defence splitting pass saw McCaffrey run on into the box and just getting to the ball before the young 17 year old Hutton goalie Evie Carvell,quickly coming off her line was judged to have clipped the strikers right foot and a penalty was awarded The ex USA International calmy slotted away to make it 1-1 However almost immediately Hutton responded with the talented Lucy Critchell playing the ball out wide on the left to her sister Hayley to run on toHayley drove down the wing and cross to the ever present Canny who slotted in the far corner2-1 Hutton right on half time
The second half became a very scrappy midfield battle with either side being able to break down defencesNumerous times Orient tried to find McCaffreys skills but the combination of Kayleigh Franklin and Izzy Crichton marked her superblyAs the game went on Orient tried more ariel balls into the box yet the defence marshalled extremely well by Phoebe Keys and Molly Bowness heading presence kept Orient at bayWith 25 minutes left the management started to introduce much needed substitutes Charlotte Rutt,Isobel Boyd and Megan Gerrish to freshen up the embattled Hutton midfieldThis certainly done the trick as on the 80th minute after a brief spell of Hutton pressure a back pass from Orient allowed Canny (who used to play in Arsenal team with Ellen White) to tackle the keeper and steal the ball off her and slot into the net for her hatrick3-1 Ten minutes of constant high pressure in the Hutton box occured yet Carvell in goal and her defence stopped any clear cut chance by Orient to finally secure the historic win 3-1
Speaking after the game manager Darren Stacey said "The girls were all fantastic,we always feel like we can score,so we kept our defensive shape superbly and just battled away in midfield,taking many knocks but just kept at itHutton girls and Ladies section really has a buzz about it this seasonBehind the scenes for many years now hard work has been put in and now we finally have Flints Community Ground Open,girls teams all the way from little Wildcats to 3 ladies teamsWe had 5 teenagers on the pitch today which shows our active player pathway is working,its fantastic"
We are pleased to announce that our new ground, Flint’s Community Sports Hub was officially opened by the Mayor of Brentwood 13th July 2024. The opening event a successful youth tournament held over two days marked the occasion and we now continue to develop the site and look forward to seeing our youth teams coming together playing on this exceptional surface.
The Club would like to thank everyone involved and invite any persons or companies who may be interested in sponsorship opportunities or able to offer any further help developing the ground
