CLUB HISTORY
Basildon Town were formed in 1946 and have played in various leagues over the years starting in the Thurrock Combination League then moving onto the Parthenon League and the Basildon League. In 1959 we joined forces with local rivals Pitsea United and in 1966 became founder members of the newly formed Essex Olympian Football League and were hugely successful for a few years. In 1969 the clubs split into two once more with Basildon Town carrying on in the Essex Olympian League
The Club suffered an almost mortal blow in the summer of 1971 when, out of the blue, we were evicted from our home ground Gun Meadow We were forced to pull out of the Essex Olympian Football League at the end of the 1970-71 season The Club then joined the Southend and District League Premier Division and gradually rebuilt over the next 10 years. In season 1980-81 the first team won the Premier League and the reserves won their divisional cup for the third year running At the start of the 1981-82 season we returned to the Essex Olympian Football League. The reserves also joined the Olympian League a few years later following the setting up of a reserve section within the Olympian League The 1980's and early 1990’s were largely unproductive on the field In the late 1990's the first team had a period of success winning their divisional league in 1998-99 and winning the Basildon Sports Council Trophy on 2 occasions and also the Stanford Charity Cup
During the years following 2000 our first team had some success in cup competitions but league honours evaded the club By 2010/11 we were playing in Senior Division 3 with the reserve side in the Reserve Division Three Since then we have moved through the Leagues and in 2014/15 were champions of Division Two. In 2016/17 we enjoyed probably our most successful season with the first team becoming champions of Division 1 and winning the Senior Cup and the reserves winning Senior Division 4 and the Reserve Cup. Back in the Premier League for the first time in over 40 years the first team started 2017/18 well by winning the Senior Challenge Cup but fortunes then declined and a poor season saw us relegated The Reserves had a good season and were promoted to Senior Division 4 In 2018/19 season the first team won promotion back to the Premier League and made the semi final of the Senior Cup The Reserves had a good season and won their second Reserve Cup Final in 3 years The next 2 seasons, as we all know, were ruined by the global pandemic In season 2022/23 we finished 2nd in the EOFL Premier League and achieved promotion to Thurlow Nunn League. In what was our first season at Step 6 season 2022/23 saw our first team narrowly fail to gain promotion losing out in play off game to Stanway Pegasus at end of what was a very long season
Reserve team won their league in the Essex Olympian Football Club added to clubs A team finishing runners up in their league to complete what was a successful season for the club.
Last two seasons have seen first team consolidate themselves in Thurlow Nunn South division, most recently last season finishing 9th in league
This season will see club also running a reserve and A team in the Essex Olympian Football League

HUTTON FC HISTORY
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 senior men’s 1st team won the EOFL premier division 2022/23 season gaining promotion to the NLS, playing in the Thurlow Nunn League South

MATT ROSE, FIRST TEAM MANAGER
Afternoon all,
It’s great to be back at New Lodge after a tough run of five consecutive away fixtures.
I’m really pleased with how the lads have handled the past month. We’ve shown real character when challenges have come our way, and we’ve seen some excellent performances both individually and as a team. With some new faces in the squad, the group is still settling in, but I’m confident we’ll continue to grow stronger as the season goes on.
Today we welcome Basildon Town, a talented and very well organised side, who are in a great run of form. We are expecting a tough test and I have full confidence in the lads to get the job done.
Thank you once again for your continued support — it means a lot to everyone involved. Let’s get behind the lads and as we push for another important win.
Up The Tons ��⚪
