Four years ago, Hutton Football Club embarked on an ambitious journey. With a clear five-year plan to reach Step 5 of the National League System, the club set itself a challenging target. It was a vision built on hard work, commitment, belief and, above all, a determination to build something special for Hutton Football Club and the wider community.

Last season, that vision became reality. Following promotion from the Essex Olympian League to the Thurlow Nunn League, our incredible squad went on to achieve what we had all dreamed of — winning the league title on the final day of the season and securing our place at Step 5. To achieve that within four years is a remarkable accomplishment. To do it in the manner this group has done it makes it even more special.

And now, as we look ahead, Hutton Football Club is entering another hugely significant chapter in its history. Founded in 1928, the club is approaching its centenary. As we look towards 100 years of Hutton Football Club, we can now celebrate another historic milestone — our entry into the FA Cup, one of the most prestigious and iconic competitions in world football.

For everyone connected with Hutton, this is a moment to be proud of. But achievements such as these do not happen because of one individual or one group. They are the result of everyone pulling in the same direction, sharing the same belief and putting the club before themselves. On behalf of the Board and Trustees of Hutton Football Club, we would like to place on record our sincere thanks to every person who has played a part in this extraordinary journey.

To our players, thank you for your commitment, professionalism and desire to win. You have represented the club with tremendous pride and have created memories that will stay with Hutton for many years to come. To our managers and coaching staff, thank you for your leadership, preparation and countless hours behind the scenes. To our Strength & Conditioning team, physiotherapists and medical staff, thank you for the work that often goes unseen but is absolutely vital to the success of the team.

And to our many volunteers and behind-the-scenes supporters, thank you. Football clubs simply do not function without people willing to give their time, energy and expertise. Your contribution is every bit as important as what happens on the pitch. We must also give thanks to Billericay Town FC for the use of their exceptional facilities and our ongoing relationship.

Hutton Football Club is built differently to most other clubs.

It is something that is difficult to explain until you have experienced it yourself. Once you become part of Hutton, you understand that this is about far more than football. It is about people, relationships, loyalty, shared values and a genuine sense of belonging. That unique spirit has helped take this club from a five-year plan to Step 5 football in just four years.

There is, however, no time to rest on our achievements.

The coming season brings new challenges, new competitions and new opportunities. The FA Cup awaits, alongside another exciting campaign of league football, and we have every confidence that this group will embrace every challenge that comes their way. As we celebrate what has already been achieved, we also look forward with enormous excitement to what comes next.

To the players, managers, coaches, S&C team, physios, volunteers and everyone who has contributed to this journey — thank you. You have helped write another important chapter in the history of Hutton Football Club. As we approach our centenary, we are proud of where we have come from, proud of where we are today, and hugely excited about where we are going.

We wish the team every success in all competitions this season. Enjoy the journey. Embrace the challenge. Make history.

Up the Ton’s!

C F D O O W H NORT CLUB HISTORY The current club was formed in 1926, following several other outfits that had carried the town’s name in earlier years, the first known, Northwood FC, being formed in September 1899, but it is not clear how long they existed. A team called Northwood Rovers played in the Harrow & District League up to the First World War, but a new Northwood FC was launched after the conflict, in September 1919, and soon Emmanuel Northwood were also competing in the Harrow & District League.

The next club to commence was Holy Trinity Northwood, again in the Harrow League, whilst in 1922 Northwood moved to the Uxbridge & District League. However, having lost their first nine fixtures in the second season, Northwood found that they were unable to field a team for later games and the club folded. Around the same time, Emmanuel Northwood also withdrew from the Harrow League.

After two seasons in which just Holy Trinity represented the town on the football field, a few people who had been involved with the two failed set-ups decided to form a new club, and Northwood United was launched for the 1926-27 campaign, with Leslie Faint, secretary of the previous Northwood FC, holding the same post for United. For the first two seasons, just friendly matches were played, apart from entering the Northwood Hospital Charity Cup, but after the second campaign, in which sixteen of the twentythree games had been won, it was decided to join a league.

Northwood United were elected to Division Two of the Harrow & District League for 1928-29, playing at Northwood Playing Fields, which was adjacent to Haste Hill golf course, at the end of The Drive, Northwood. In the team at that time were young players Joe Gill, Bob Bell and Tom Bell, who would be with the club many years later, even returning after the Second World War, and the latter also became club secretary.

In their second year the club gained promotion, and twelve months later, further success saw them move up to the Premier Division of the Harrow & District League (later renamed Harrow, Wembley & District League). At that time the club gained the use of a pitch in Northwood Recreation Ground at an annual cost of £14. 14s. including pitch marking and dressing room.

1931-32 saw the commencement of Northwood United’s dominance of local junior football. Within five years of entering league football, United had become Premier Division champions, a feat they repeated for each of the next four years, followed by second and third places up to the War. The League Senior Challenge Cup was won three times during that period, and in 1938 the club won the Middlesex Junior Cup, having been losing finalists in 1935 and 1936.

After the Second World War, with the disappearance of Holy Trinity Northwood, the club dropped the “United” suffix from their title, and were Harrow & Wembley champions in consecutive years, 1948 and 1949.

After being a mid-table side in the Premier Division throughout the ‘fifties, the club hit a slump in the early 'sixties, suffering a firstever relegation in 1962, and they became something of a yo-yo side for a few years, but towards the end of the 1960s things improved. Northwood were elected into the Middlesex League in 1970, and they became runners-up at the end of their second season.

After playing in the main park since 1931, the mid-seventies saw the Woods develop an area of rough land into their present ground with suitable facilities, and further developments have been carried out regularly since.

The Woods won the Middlesex League Cup on three occasions and also the League championship in 1978, completing the Middlesex League double, and the club were subsequently elected to the Hellenic League. In the first season they were promoted to the top flight as Division One champions and Hellenic League Division One Cup winners. Northwood also lifted the Middlesex Intermediate Cup by beating Feltham 2-1 – the club’s first County Cup success for forty-one years. Floodlights were erected and senior status was granted in 1981.

Due to large travelling costs, Northwood switched to play in the London Spartan League in 1984 and they were soon to become one of the competition's top clubs. After one League Cup win, a runners-up spot and two third places, the Woods completed a League and Cup double in 1992. Along with this success came considerable ground improvements, which allowed them to be promoted to the Isthmian League, Division Three.

CLUB HISTORY After five years at the higher level, following early success by winning the 1993 Associate Members Trophy, and several promotion challenges, Northwood made it to Division Two in 1997. Following three seasons in that division, the Woods earned further promotion when they gained the runners-up spot in 2000. They also captured the Associate Members Trophy for a second time and reached their first ever Middlesex Senior Cup final, where they went down 2-0 to GM Vauxhall Conference outfit Hayes.

Another three years later and Northwood found themselves in the Premier Division, having won the Division One North championship in 2003. They also captured the Isthmian League Cup for the first time in 2002, beating Premier Division Hampton & Richmond Borough in the final, 3-2 after extra-time, and also reached the Middlesex Senior Cup final once again, this time beaten in extra-time by Hendon.

September 2002 saw the Woods defeat Premier Division champions Gravesend & Northfleet 4-2 to lift the Isthmian Charity Shield. It proved a difficult first season in the Premier Division, but after an F.A. restructure of non-League football, Northwood remained in the division for a second season.

In 2003, Northwood received the prestigious award of Community Club status from the Football Association in recognition of the club's commitment to youth football in the area – the club have teams of all age groups playing their football within the confines of Northwood Park. Improvements have been made to the standards in recent years, and the club is hoping this will result in many youngsters developing into first-team players in the future.

Northwood faced a new challenge for the 2005-06 campaign, having been moved to the Southern League Premier Division, and although the first season in the new league was a struggle, the team avoided the drop on the final day. However, 2007 saw the Woods finish in 22nd place in the division, and relegation followed – the first time the club had faced demotion in senior football. It wasn't all doom and gloom, though, as Northwood lifted the Middlesex Senior Cup for the first time in their history by defeating Hayes, of the Conference South, on their own ground in the final.

Having been moved back to the Isthmian League for the 2007-08 campaign, and after spending three years in Division One North, Northwood were then transferred again to the Southern League Division One Central in 2010-11. Their first season was a struggle but they successfully avoided relegation after a bright finish to the campaign and in 2012 under new manager Gary Meakin, it proved much more successful, only missing out on a play-off place on the final day of the season. The following season was boosted by an FA Cup run to the third qualifying round while a forced change of manager saw the Woods have to rebuild the squad so a mid-table finish was very acceptable. Mark Burgess had successful full seasons in charge, surpassing expectations by finishing ninth, tenthand then seventh respectively. There was also success in cup competitions, reaching the League Cup semi-final in 2016 before losing on penalties to Merthyr Town and then winning the Middlesex Senior Cup for the second time in the club’s history with a 2-0 victory over Ryman Premier side Enfield Town. However, 2016/17 was more of a struggle after losing most of the successful side to a higher level and relegation was only just avoided.

Since then, a series of managers have come and gone quickly andScott Dash, who was appointed permanently in December 2018 following a successful spell as caretaker only lasted just under a year after a series of poor results saw another change and the arrival of Jamie Leacock to the role. Jamie’s tenure was ended in January 2020 after a run of ten successive defeats and former player Robert Ursell was placed in charge. His time was interrupted by the Covid Pandemic and then resigned his position in April 2021. The new man to steer the Woods to a more competitive position in the Isthmian League was to be former Ashford Town (Middx) boss Ben Murray but after the club’s worst start ever to a season, he was replaced in November 2021 by Director of Football Steve Ringrose and Head Coach Ben Bukowski along with Player-Coaches Andy Lomas and Keagan Cole. Their impact was instant, winning a club record eight away games in succession, a run that lifted the side to the safety of mid-table. The improvement continued in the 2022/23 season, leading the South-Central division for several months before eventually qualifying for the end-of-season play-offs for the first time in the club’s history. Though they were beaten 2-1 at eventually promoted side Walton & Hersham, it had been their best season for some time.

The Woods were unable to match that success last season with a bad run of form seeing them struggle near the relegation zone briefly. At the end of the season Bukowski left the club to take over at Harrow Borough and the experienced former professional midfielder Scott Donnelly was appointed to his first managerial role as the club were also transferred back to play in the Southern League. After a very poor start to the season, Donnelly left the club in September 2024. After a month of an interim management team, Gary Meakin returned to the club in October 2024 for his second spell at the club but this came to an end in late March as he resigned his position. Two senior players, Jack Smith and Jon-Jo Bates volunteered to step up take over for the final month of the season and it was a remarkable turnaround that saw the club survive relegation and the club were pleased to confirm that the duo agreed to continue for the 2025-26 season.That role came to an end in January 2026 and just before the end of February, the club have announced Tommy Cooney as their new manager for their Centenary year. Sadly, he was unable to save the club from relegation back to Step 5 for the first time in over thirty years. The club celebrate their Centenary this season under new manager Manny Williams, a well-respected former player over more than two decades, playing in the Combined Counties League for the first-ever time.

N O T T U H B U L C L L A B T O O F 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.

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 over 70 teams based in our local community.

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. 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. The club house has been at the Polo Fields for over 50 years two previous buildings being destroyed by fire the second one having been struck by lightning. In 2010 the Clubhouse was vandalized and set on fire but repaired and enhanced thanks to a large grant from Sport England. The Polo Fields Clubhouse finally suffered its fate in 2025 when it was demolished due to structural issues.

The new home for the club see us at Flints Community Sports Hub where we have a new clubhouse, an excellent playing surface for multiple pitches from 3v3 to 11v11. This project was completed in association with the Football Foundation in 2025.

On the pitch, 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. After 2 consecutive seasons reaching play off positions the team were promoted as Champions to the Essex Senior League 25 /26.

THE ROSEY REPORT

MATT ROSE, FIRST TEAM MANAGER Afternoon all, It’s great to be back at New Lodge for our first home game of the season, as we welcome Northwood for tonight’s FA Cup replay.

The club’s first ever involvement in the FA Cup, so to now have the opportunity to play an FA Cup tie here at New Lodge is a really proud moment for everyone connected with Hutton. It’s another milestone for the club and one we want to make the most of.

Saturday’s game gave us a good understanding of what to expect from Northwood, and there were plenty of positives for us to take from the performance. We know it will be another competitive game tonight, but we’ll take confidence from Saturday and focus on putting in a strong performance We’ll need to be switched on from the first whistle, compete for everything and play with the intensity and belief we expect from ourselves. These are the nights you want to be involved in and hopefully we can put in a performance everyone connected with the club can be proud of.

As always, thank you for your continued support. Please get right behind the lads tonight and let’s make New Lodge a difficult place for Northwood to come.
