'''Cambridge University Press Football Club''' is one of the oldest clubs in [[Cambridgeshire]], founded in 1893.
Cambridge University Press play in traditional 'Cambridge Blue' with sky blue shirts, navy blue shorts and sky blue socks. Their change strip is all yellow. The club badge is the crest of Cambridge University Press, which is also the crest of the University of Cambridge.


==Honours==
It took the club 20 years to gain its first honour, winning the prestigious [[Cambridgeshire Senior Cup]] (now [[Challenge Cup]]) in 1913/14. In 1928/29 the club won the Cambs Division II title, and this sparked a mini period of success, with the Division I title won 2 years later in 1931/32 and the Premier Division title won, for the only time in the clubs history, in 1934/35.

The last 15 years have seen the clubs honours list increase dramatically. In 1992/93 the Division 2a title was won, with the Reserves winning Division 3b a year later in 1993/94. The Reserves gained double success in the 2002/03 season winning the Division 3b title and the [[John Ablett Cup]].

==References==
In the early 00’s, [[Gareth Chapman]] was appointed player-manager as the club strived to reach the summit of local football. Success was achieved in 2003/04 with the Senior B title. With the club seeking consolidation in Senior A, the team had other ideas and mounted a serious challenge in the higher division. Midway through the season, [[Nigel Dixon]] was appointed joint-manager and this helped the club to achieve the runners-up position, just being beaten to the Senior A title by Eaton Socon. The 2005/2006 season was the clubs first in the Kershaw Premier League. The squad was bolstered with a couple of experienced signings, with defenders [[Andy Critoph]], joining from [[Newmarket Town]], and [[Gary Crick]], joining from [[Mildenhall Town]] as Player Coach the main recruits.

With consolidation the aim, the team had other ideas yet again and finished in a very creditable fourth place. 2006/2007 promises to be an exciting season, with [[Cambridge University Press]] coming on board as a major sponsor of the club.

Facilities at the Press are outstanding, with a superb playing surface, excellent changing facilities and the Cass Centre, with licensed bar, lounge and balcony overlooking the playing surface. The club also benefits from a floodlit artificial turf pitch and fully equipped fitness suite for training, making it one of the best places to play football in the area. The club are looking to develop the ground in the next few years to make it the best local venue for football.
