High Bickington FC has much history! The club itself has been around for atleast 80 years with the oldest recorded success being a Minor Division championship win in the 1934-1935 season (the first Minor Division championship!) Since then the club has risen into higher leagues and as the village has grown in population, the team has grown in size and stature with two teams now baring the High Bickington FC name. Other titles include two Division II championships in 1966-67 and 1997-98 seasons, two Division I championships in 1961-62 and 1998-99 seasons and one Senior Division title in 1999-00 season. However, even with this impressive record High Bickington FC have never won the Premier Division although many believe (after seeing them storm all three lower divisions in consecutive seasons) that the 2000-01 season would have been there glory year but sadly the competition was abandoned due to foot and mouth! But what about the Cups? Well, the first of only two cup victories in the clubs history was a Division III Cup title back in the 1936-37 season. The second being a Combe Martin Cup title in 1978-79. No doubt many more will come in the near future! |
