History
The
Crown and Horseshoe Football Club was founded in 2006. A group of friends
that
regularly drink in the Crown & Horseshoe public house came up with
the idea of
starting a 11-a-side team after many years playing in the local
5-a-side league.
With
backing from the pub landlord Craig Thatcher and local businessman Alex
Barton of Luxury Wheels, funds were made available to make the dream come
reality.
Matthew
Evans took on the responsibility of managing the team with help from others,
and over a short period of time put everything in place to make things
possible.
The
first ever game was away at Bristol Rovers Fans Forum. Crown and Horseshoe
went on to win all 5 pre-season friendly fixtures and grew in confidence
going into the first ever league fixture in the Roper Rhoades Bath &
District League 5.
During the first season 2006/07
Crown and Horseshoe were on the fringe of promotion all season
but a run of bad results towards the end of the season proved
costly.
2007/08
Season saw the Crown & Horseshoe enter the Cup competitions and
saw them reach the Semi Finals of the Secretary's KO Cup, where
they were knocked out by ABS Sports (1-2). The league campaign
turned out to be very inconsistent, and towards the end of the
season key injury's proved costly and the Crown finished 4th in
Division 4.
