History
Cheshunt FC is the oldest amateur team in Hertfordshire, having been formed in 1880.
They disbanded in 1931, only to reform after the Second World War ended.
They have achieved success over the years, including winning the Athenian league and Cup double, reaching the FA Cup 4th qualifying round four times and the FA Vase last eight once.
In 2018, Craig Edwards was appointed manager and oversaw two successive promotions, culminating in promotion to the Isthmian Premier League.
During the 19/20 and 20/21 seasons they were limited by Covid restrictions, but made a flying start to life in the Isthmian Premiership.
They also had a fantastic FA Trophy run before being knocked out by Stockport County 1-0 in the 5th round.
The club continues to grow with Walking Football, Inclusive teams, A Women's Team and an ever expanding Youth section all seeing success over the season.
