Yaxley Football Club is a football club based in Yaxley, Cambridgeshire. Their away kit is Red shirt, shorts and socks.

'The Cuckoos’ were established in 1962 and joined Division Three South of the Peterborough & District League, before being renamed Yaxley British Legion a year later. In 1972 they dropped British Legion from their name. The club played at Middleton Road (a public Park with no stands) until 1994 when they relocated to their present ground, Leading Drove, where a stand and floodlights were installed in the summer of 1995. In 2011 an artificial pitch was installed. In 1994 the Huntingdonshire League merged with the East Northants League to form the West Anglia League, with Yaxley being its inaugural champions. As West Anglia League champions, and following the move to their new ground, the club were accepted into Division One of the United Counties League for the 1995–96 season. They won the division at the second attempt, and were promoted to the Premier Division. The next few years saw the club win several cups, with the Hunts Senior Cup won in 1998–99, 2003–04, 2004–05 and 2007–08, the Huntingdonshire Premier Cup in 2004–05 and the League Cup in 2005–06 and 2016–17. In 2017–18 Yaxley won the United Counties League Premier Division, earning promotion to Division One Central of the Southern League. At the end of the 2020–21 season they were transferred to Division One Midlands of the Northern Premier League. During the 2022–23 season they appointed Sammy Mould as manager; at the age of 20, he was the youngest football manager ever appointed in English football. However, he was sacked three months later, and the club finished bottom of Division One Midlands with just six points, resulting in relegation to the Premier Division South of the United Counties League. Last season saw Yaxley end up in 14th position in the league with 34 points from their 26 games (10 wins; 4 draws; 22 defeats).

This season they currently occupy 16th position with 23 points from their 24 games to date (6 wins; 5 draws; 13 defeats). The two sides met back in August when Moulton travelled over to Cambridgeshire, this game seeing Yaxley’s first win of the season (1-0). Since then they have gone on to win a further 5 times, all at home v Daventry Town, Bugbrooke, Sileby Rangers, Hinckley and Lutterworth. Their last 4 league games has seen them lose v Leicester Nirvana (A) 1-3; win v Lutterworth (H) 3-1, draw against both GNG Oadby (A) 4-4 and Sileby Rangers (A) 1-1. On Saturday 20th they play Coventry United at home (Update - Yaxley lost 0-3). Like Moulton, they exited the FA Cup away at Hucknall Town 2-3 at the beginning of August; FA Vase on penalties v Framlingham Town (A) at the end of August; UCL KO Cup away at Pinchbeck United 0-1 in September; Hunts Senior Cup away v Eaton Socon 0-2 in October but progressed into the next round of the Hinchingbrooke Cup with a home win v Eaton Socon 3-2 at the beginning of the month.

Saturday’s referee is scheduled as Tom Roberts, who officiated our away defeat back in October v Eynesbury Rovers 3-4.
