TOdaY’s VISITORS HISTORY OF OXHEY JETS FC The current General Manager John Elliott founded Oxhey Jets in 1972. Playing their first season as an under 12 team in the South West Herts Youth League, having been playing friendly matches as the 2nd Oxhey Boys Brigade team for two years before that. A winning start in the League cup final on the last game of the season saw the club move on, and more youth sides were added to the clubs structure, with the original side moving up through the age groups. In the 1978-79 season the team having out grown youth football moved to the Watford and District men’s Saturday league, and at the first attempt won the Division one championship without dropping a point, this prompted an application to the Hertfordshire Senior County League, which was turned down because their home ground was an open playing fields. We instead went into the West Herts Saturday league, and started to prepare the old school pitch at the Chilwell Gardens site ready for another application to join the County League. Chilwell was ready for use and the runners up spot was secured with Three matches to spare, and became the first Oxhey side in history to win The Watford Peace Memorial Shield.

The Herts Senior County League was increased in size and Oxhey were elected into Division one in 1981 and were promoted to the Premier division in 1983.

The Biggest change to happen to the club was in the 2000-2001 season having moved from their old Chilwell Gardens site, to a new Two million pound complex in Altham Way (using Met Police Bushey for a season), Jets new ground; “The Boundary Stadium” was built to almost Rymans League standard.

TOdaY’s VISITORS The 2022-23 season saw us struggling and we were sitting at the bottom of the league with just 3 points from our first nine games.

Club general manager, John Elliott then decided that a change of management was called for and we parted company with Kevin Christou.

A new management team of Tom Inch and David Barnes were then appointed as joint managers. Following much rebuilding of the team we narrowly failed to climb out of the relegation zone.

The 2023-24 season now sees us playing in division one of the Combined Counties League.
