the middle third of the table as well as embarking on a series of runs in the FA Cup and FA Vase.

The management line up was boosted in 200405 by the arrival of Bobby De Ste Croix and Alan Smith from Havant and Waterlooville. The duo managed to lead Moneys to mid-table finishes for two consecutive seasons and reached the final of the Portsmouth Senior Cup in 2005-06, losing 4-3 to Gosport Borough at West Leigh Park. In the 2006-07 campaign Moneys reached the third round of the FA Vase, losing to AFC Totton.

The 2007-08 season saw the sudden mid-season departure of Craig Stafford, with the team ending the season in seventh position. Moneys were defeated in the League Cup Final, losing 1-0 against Wimborne Town. They also reached the second qualifying round of the FA Cup, being knocked out by Team Bath at Dover Road. In 2008-09 season Moneyfields had their best start to the season, leading the remaining 21 teams for a short period of time and seeing Moneys youth product Conor Bailey scoring the side’s 100th goal of the season. The campaign ended positively with the first team and reserve team both finishing third in their respective league tables. The following campaign, though, was Moneys’ worst season at home, with only five wins at Dover Road leaving the club in twelfth place. The reserves ended that season in fourth place.

After five seasons in the Moneyfields hot-seat, Bobby De Ste Croix retired as manager. He was replaced by former manager Micky Gee’s son Graeme, who was also a very loyal player over the years at Moneyfields.

During the 2010-11 season Moneys finished in a respectable seventh place in the Wessex Premier League. Warren Hunt topped the goalscoring charts with a club record tally of 35 goals in a season. The reserves finished fourth in the Wessex Combination League and finished as runners-up in the Portsmouth Senior Cup, losing 1-0 to Horndean in the final. Moneys ended the following season [2011-12] in fourth position, with former AFC Bournemouth forward Steve Hutchings finishing top goal scorer, with 34 goals. The reserves again finished fourth but this time in the newly formed Wyvern Combination League. Another Portsmouth Senior Cup final defeat was on the cards for the reserves, as they were beaten 4-3 at Fratton Park by US Portsmouth. The club bounced back in the 2012-13 campaign with a Portsmouth Senior Cup victory, but then were runners-up once again in the 2014-15 Portsmouth Senior Cup.

The 2015-16 saw Moneyfields manager Miles Rutherford resign after 12 years in charge and he was replaced by Dave Carter, who joined from fellow Wessex Premier Division side Horndean in October. Carter led Moneys to an eighth placed finish and Moneys also reached the fourth round of the FA Vase. The reserves ended the season second in the Wyvern Combination League.

In Carter’s first full season at Dover Road [201617] Moneyfields finished top of the table in Wessex League Premier Division. But only three days after the season ended, the FA took 3-points away for Moneys fielding an ineligible player, handing the title to Portland United. Moneys still gained promotion to the Southern Football League Division One South-East.

Moneys ended their first season in the Southern Football League Division One South-East with a decent 10th placed finish. The club also entered FA Trophy for the first in their history.

In 2018-19 Moneys won a place in the play-offs, after ending the season fourth in the league table, on 71 points. Despite clinching a play-off place, it was made impossible for the club to gain promotion due to technicalities. This was because of a league restructuring and there then being insufficient space in the divisions above for all of the lay-off winners to be promoted. Moneyfields were placed in 18th when the 201920 season was abandoned due to the Covid-19 pandemic and were also in the Portsmouth Senior Cup quarter-final and the Hampshire Senior Cup semi-final. Moneys played the remaining Portsmouth Senior Cup ties during the 2020-21 season and went onto win the Portsmouth Senior Cup against Baffins

Milton Rovers at Fratton Park. In February 2021

Dave Carter stepped down to join AFC Portchester as manager, so the two Louis’ [Savage and Bell] took charge for our Portsmouth Senior Cup semifinal versus Fareham Town and for the final. The 2021-22 campaign was Moneys’ first season back in the Wessex League after voluntarily being relegated due to a loss over sponsorship and finance because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The team was under new management in the form of Glenn Turnbull, Fraser Quirke, and Paul Barton, who joined from US Portsmouth. Moneys finished ninth in the league and made the final of the Portsmouth Senior Cup, losing to Gosport Borough 4-1. The following season, Moneys played their home games at The Draper Tools Community Stadium [home of Havant & Waterlooville] due to the redevelopment of Dover Road into the John Jenkins Stadium. The club attendances were at an all-time high in the 2022-23 season, with gates averaging 230 per game, including a club record attendance of 1,012 against AFC Portchester in a thrilling 3-3 draw on 27 December 2022. which pits them against teams from a number of counties including Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset. The first team have been successful throughout their history, most recently when lifting the Portsmouth Senior Cup in 2021.

At present, the first team are managed by Glenn Turnbull, with the help of his assistant Joe Noakes, coaches Neil Tomlinson and Alex Hards, and physio Stefan Stefan and masseuse Amy Weston.

FC Women have climbed the women’s football pyramid with successive promotions through the Hampshire County Women’s Leagues and Southern Region Women’s Leagues.

In May 2022, after two seasons lost to COVID, Karl Watson’s side finally secured a much-deserved promotion into the FA Women’s National League South-West Division One, the fourth tier of women’s football.

For context, that is three divisions below the Women’s Super League, two below the Women’s Championship one league below local rivals Portsmouth and the likes of Watford, Ipswich Town, Oxford United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. All the Vitality Women’s FA Cup.

While the first team’s successful season is something to be celebrated, the club are most proud of the expanded women’s and girls’ section. Prior to the 2022-23 season, outside of the first team, there was only one girl’s youth team within the club but now there are seven, ranging from U9s to U18s.

The Women’s Reserve team secured the Hampshire League Division Two title by the end of March 2023, going unbeaten and only dropping points in one league match, a draw against Andover New Street.
