HISTORY

As well as the successes in the league, the Club also had a thrilling FA Vase run. There was another last-minute winner against Essex Senior League Takeley and then the extraordinary “see-saw” game down in London as FC beat Essex Olympian League Canning Town 5-4 after extra time.

The toughest possible draw came in the Second Round Proper where FC were handed an away draw at Peterborough Sports (now of the National League North), who were current leaders and eventual comfortable winners of the United Counties League Premier Division. In going down 5-3, FC made a huge impression on their high-flying opponents and they were glowing in their praise of the football the club played.

On and off the field, Biggleswade FC won a lot of friends over their first season in senior football. Crowds increased and the club set out to cultivate links with the local community. There were match day mascots from Biggleswade Academy and Biggleswade Town Under 7s, whilst the club’s badge was designed by a local 12-year old school girl for whom there was a special presentation on FC’s ‘Launch Day’ back in October 2016.

2017/18 season

The Club’s second full season in senior football, will probably be remembered for exploits in the FA Vase. Victories over Northampton Sileby Rangers (5-3), Basildon United (20), Crawley Green (2-0) and eventual SSML Premier Division
