About the team

Shire Oak Bears were founded in 2016 and currently play in Oakbourne Coronation League (UK).

The club was forged from the ashes of Shire Oak Saints from whom the core of the squad were former members of. The team disbanded after the 2003/2004 season and went their separate ways.

In 2016, 12 years on, Shire Oak Bears were created and the team reunited once again to play in the Festival League (UK). Along with a fresh influx of quality players, the clubs first season saw them finish runners up in Division Two.

They were subsequently promoted to the Premier One Division for the 2017/2018 season where they achieved a mid-table finish. Since then they have gone from strength to strength, finishing in a higher league position in each of their campaigns (2018/2019 - 6th, 2019/2020 - 5th and 2020-2021 - 3rd).

After five fantastic years in the Festival League, the club will begin a fresh adventure, as they move over to the newly merged Oakbourne Coronation League.

They hope to make the up and coming 2021/2022 campaign their most successful yet...
