FunnySeaSider Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Halstead Town FC The club was formed in 1879 following a meeting of 16 "interested gentlemen" in the Town Hall. In the early years friendlies were played against local villages before the club became members of the North Essex League in 1894.The first trophy of note was winning the Essex Junior Cup in 1902, beating Chingford 2-0 in the final at Chelmsford. The club celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2019. Halstead Town have had a prolonged period in Division 1 but this season (22/23) we see our return to Step 5 after 15 years, albeit in the Essex Senior league which we haven’t graced for 24 years. The return coming via the play-off’s at the end of the 2021/22 season in which we overcame great odds to secure a 2-1 victory at Buckhurst Hill The story so far... 2023/24 A new era for Halstead Town as FunnySeaSider joined the club as their full time manager. He very quickly put his philosophy into action, making the most of the talented wide players at his disposal. A season of ups an downs saw Halstead exceed all expectations and battle their way into a playoff place at the end of the season. They fought bravely against teams from across the county leagues but fell at the final hurdle, losing 0-3 to Histon in the playoff final. Halstead fans did however enjoy a phenomenal FAVase run in which Halstead went all the way to the final and came out victorious. The first of many trophies as Halstead boss we hope! 2024/25 The belief remained and with many new players coming in, Halstead hit the ground running in Season 2. A wobble in late September and October may have knocked most team's confidence but the Humbugs kept their heads up. By late October they were back to winning ways and went on a fantastic run which eventually sealed their title win and automatic promotion to the Isthmian League North Division! 2025/26 Halstead head into the ILND with hopes of staying away from a relegation battle and perhaps even getting a mid table finish. But first, a squad rebuild is necessary! Up the Humbugs episode 33 - Season review Full playlist - all 33 episodes so far! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
