History

The club was founded in 1919.[4] They won their first honour in Jersey football in 1939, winning the Trinity Shield.[2] Under the supervision of Richard Collinson, St. Ouen set up Jersey's first football school of excellence.[5]

On 4 December 1972, St. Ouen played a friendly match against Scottish Old Firm team, Celtic at Springfield Stadium, Saint Helier.[6][7] The game was intended as a preparation for Celtic's Scottish League Cup Final match against Hibernian. This meant that Celtic played their first team, which included Kenny Dalglish and Pat McCluskey, in the match.[7] Celtic won the match 11-1. St. Ouen's team on that day also included several professional guest players including Southampton's Jim Steele and Mick Channon.[7]

In 2006, St. Ouen were promoted into Division One after becoming champions of Division Two.[8] However they were relegated back into Division Two the following season[9] before again being promoted back into Division One the next season.[10]

In 2008, St. Ouen received planning permission from the States of Jersey for a new training pitch to be built, which overturned the decision from the planning officer of Jersey because of the percieved benefits of inclusiveness with the community.[11] In 2012, St. Ouen's goalkeeper, Paul Kemp scored two goals in St. Ouen's league game against Rozel Rovers. This was the first time a goalkeeper had scored twice in a match in Jersey.[12] Also in 2012, they won the Trinity Shield for the first time since 1939.[2]
