Cambridge University Press Football Club is one of the oldest clubs in Cambridgeshire, founded in 1893. The club is currnelty in its 113th season.
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.
It was some thirty years later that further success was achieved when the club won the Division 2b title in 1967/68. The clubs next piece of Silverware came in 1985/86 with the capturing of the Cambs Junior Cup.
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.
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. Goalkeeper Matt Paynter joined midway through the season. 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. Further new signings for 2006/07 have included Lee Crick, from Mildenhall Town, Ciaran Wilkinson, from Longstanton, as well as the returning Liam Rusted.
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.
