History

Formed in 1897 by members of Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club, Sawbridgeworth Town Football Club played their first friendly match on Pishiobury Park, a large tract of common land to the south of the Town. At the turn of the century they joined the East Herts league and later relocated to Great Hyde Hall. At this time, they were playing in the Stortford League and had their headquarters in the White Lion Hotel in the centre of town. Just after the first world war they moved to their next ground - a field next to the Hand & Crown Public House. This venue became very popular at the time and staged many local cup finals.

They moved to their present ground in 1930. At the time the facility was known as Cambridge Road but following construction of a housing estate and provision of a new entrance it was rechristened Crofters End. Following the second World War Sawbridgeworth Town FC joined the Spartan Lague for their first taste of senior football, however this proved not to be successful and they rejoined the Stortford League.

With the building of a new clubhouse in 1975, the club reapplied for Senior status and joined the Essex Senior League. After a few years and steady improvements to the ground, floodlights were erected which enabled the Robins to participate in further cup competitions and evening games.

More recently, the club has expanded to encompass a thriving junior set up, catering for the towns' youth from an U7s side right up to the under 11's as well as a competitive Ladies section. These units compliment the clubs Senior Side and Reserves and all compete under the umbrella title of Sawbridgeworth Town Football Club.

2005/2006 saw a fairly successful season for the Robins' teams with the senior side winning the Herts Charity Shield, the Reserves becoming the league champions and the Ladies side reaching the play-offs of their division.

2007/2008 Richard Branchflower takes over as First Team manager, this signals an exciting change of direction for the club with a completely new management structure primed and ready to take Sawbridgeworth Town FC into the future. The aim of the move follows chairman Steve Day's vision of total integration between the Youth, Reserve & First Team squads. Richard Branchflower resigns late 2008 and Peter Wickham and Kevin Shuttleworth take the reins.

2012: Peter Wickham starts his 4th year as Sawbridgeworth boss with Marc Das as Assistant Manager, the Senior set up is complimented this season with the inclusion of Steve Pridmore as Senior Reserve Manager and Kevin Shuttleworth as Senior First Team Coach. Again the emphasis is to bring players through the ranks and with brining the U18 into the Senior set up, this has already started to pay dividends. The overiding intention is to ease the transition between junior and senior football within the club.

2013: Marc Das takes over the reigns as First Team Manager and appoints long term associate Andy Walker as his Assistant. Johh Turner is appointed Assistant Reserve Team Manager.
