History of the FCCY Mens Team(s) - http://fccyadults.blogspot.com/

2004 / 2005

FCCY formed an adult side for the first time in the clubs’ history, made up by the majority of the previous seasons Under 16’s. As expected, it was a difficult transition, but was a great learning experience. Although many games ended in defeats, this was after we had outplayed the opposition, but a lack of physical size and experience often proved costly. A final 13^th place out of 15 in the Trowbridge & District League Division 3 was a credit to the lads efforts.

2005 / 2006

 Our 2^nd season in the Trowbridge & District League Division 3 saw much improved results, although the inability to field a settled side was disappointing and meant we didn't finish as high as we deserved. However, 5^th was a vast improvement.

 2006 / 2007

This season saw us enter 2 teams – the 1sts moving to the Wiltshire League Division 2 and the newly created 2nds in the Trowbridge & District League Division 3.

 The Wiltshire League for the 1sts proved to be a big step up in standard, but with the addition of a few older players, we discovered that this suited our style. We finished 5^th, which was an excellent effort.

 The 2nds did very well, even without a regular keeper until Christmas. After the addition of a keeper, an excellent run saw the team needing an 8-0 win on the last day to steal 2^nd, however we fell just 1 goal short and claimed 3^rd and promotion.

 2007 / 2008

This season saw the 1sts remain in the Wiltshire League Division 2, the 2nds in the Trowbridge & District Division 2 (after promotion) and the newly created 3rds into the Trowbridge & District Division 3. 

Logistically, this was a nightmare, with many players turning out for all 3 sides at various times. 

The 1sts managed 5^th again, which was slightly disappointing after an excellent start to the season, that saw a string of wins until the end of November.

 However, the season ended brilliantly in the Subsidiary Cup. After 6 group games and a semi-final, the final was played at Marlborough Towns ground v Swindon APS. With just 2 minutes remaining of normal time on a stinking hot and humid day in a superb, tense and very even game, a 30 yard strike from Nathan Pritchard gave us the win!

 The 2nds had a disappointing season in terms of results finishing 10^th of 14. The team did prove to be good in terms of developing players for the 1sts. All those that were called upon performed creditably. The team did have an excellent disciplinary record and won both the divisional and league overall Fair Play Award, which is marked by the Referees.

 The 3rds were amazingly erratic, with good wins versus top sides interspersed with shockingly bad defeats. We did manage to get through the fixtures even though we were always struggling for numbers. A finishing position of 7^th of 12 was a decent effort in the circumstances.

 Club Secretary, Steve Manifold, also won the Trowbridge & District League Secretary of the Year Award.
