Moulton Football Club

Eynesbury Rovers are based in the Eynesbury area of St Neots in Cambridgeshire and play at the Alfred Hall Memorial Ground. Their home kit is Blue/White striped shirts, Blue shorts and socks.

The club was established in 1897. After playing friendly matches, they joined the Biggleswade & District League, before switching to the St Neots Junior League. The club won the league in 1910–11 and went on to win their first major honour, the Hunts Senior Cup, in 1913–14. They won the Hunts Junior Cup in 1921, 1927 and 1932, and were champions of Division Two of the Bedford & District League in 1926–27, 1930–31 and 1931–32. In 1934 they joined Division Two of the South Midlands League and were promoted to Division One at the end of the first season in the league, which saw them finish as Division Two runners-up. After World War II the club switched to the United Counties League. They won the Hunts Senior Cup four times between 1946 and 1951, and the Hunts Premier Cup in 1951, before joining the Eastern Counties League in 1952, becoming the most westerly club ever to play in the league.

Eynesbury won the Hunts Senior Cup again in 1954–55 and 1956–57. However, financial problems forced the club to revert to amateur status. In 1960–61 they failed to win a league match all season and gained only three points, finishing bottom of the league. Although they won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup the following season, in 1962–63 they again finished bottom of the league and left to rejoin the United Counties League. They continued to struggle, finishing in the bottom two for five of the next eight seasons, although they did win the Senior Cup again in 1969–70. At the end of the 1971–72 season they finished bottom again and were relegated. In 1976–77 they won the (now-renamed) Division One and were promoted back to the Premier Division. The club won the Hunts Senior Cup in 1984–85 and then three times in a row between 1990–91 and 1992–93. Further wins were achieved in 1995–96 and 1999–2000.

In 2000–01 Eynesbury finished bottom of the Premier Division and were relegated to Division One. The following season they won their fifteenth Senior Cup. In 2012–13 the club were Division One runners-up and promoted to the Premier Division. They won the Senior Cup again in 2016–17. At the end of the 2018–19 season the club were transferred to the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands League. Two seasons later they were transferred back to the United Counties League, joining the Premier Division South. In the 2024-25 season, Eynesbury Rovers won the United Counties League Cup for the first time, beating Lincoln City 2-0 in the final. They also finished 5th in the Premier Division South, qualifying for the promotion play offs, in which they lost 5-0 to Aylestone Park away in the semi-finals. Last season they ended up in 10th position with 54 points from their 38 games, having had 3 points deducted for fielding an ineligible player (Won 17; Drew 6; Lost 15).

This season sees them in 14th place with 7 points from their 8 games (2 wins; 1 draws, 5 defeats). Their last 4 league games has seen them win once at home v Yaxley 2-1 but lose away v Knowle 5-0 last weekend. The other two games also ended in defeat at home v Coventry Sphinx 1-4 and away v Sileby Rangers 1-3. Their only other win in the league being at home v Histon 3-0. In the FA Vase they progressed into the next round with a 2-1 away win v Netherton United. In the FA Cup they went out of the competition in August v Fakenham Town at home 2-3, which was also the case in the UCL Cup v Belper United at home 2-3.

Saturday’s referee is scheduled as Thomas Kelly, another new name to officiate a Moulton match.
