Eynesbury Rovers have been competing in the FA Cup since the 1946/47 campaign when they first joined the United Counties League although the Club were formed in 1897 when joining the Biggleswade & District League before moving to the St Neots Junior League a short time later. The Club's best run was during the 1954/55 season when, as a then Eastern Counties League side, they reached the Fourth Qualifying Round losing 3-1 to fellow Eastern Counties League Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium, they have perhaps surprisingly never reached the First Round proper of the competition depite for some years entering at the Second Qualifying Round stage.

Photographs, and match report, from Eynesbury Rovers v Oadby Town in a 2012/13 United Counties League Division One fixture, at Hall Road on Saturday 8 December 2012. Oadby Town won 1-0 with a goal just after the interval in what was a poor performance from the hosts and one of only three League defeats all season, just missing out on promotion to the Premier Division.

Sorry this is late however sadly former Eynesbury Rovers Manager Brian Abraham passed away just before Christmas, on 17 December, Brian was President of the Club he first joined in the early 1970’s as Manager and oversaw promotion from Division One to the Premier Division of the United Counties League in 1976/77 as Champions. Brian served at Hall Road in many capacities over the years including helping to build the current Clubhouse and Committee room, he was also a long standing Committee member and previous Chairman of the Club. RIP Brian:

The match programme line ups, and a match report, from Eynesbury Rovers v Buckingham Town in a 2009/10 United Counties League Division One fixture, at Hall Road on Saturday 16 January 2010. Hold on to your hats when reading the report as Eynesbury Rovers won 5-4 in a game arguably not witnessed since at Hall Road, it had absolutely everything you can possibly think of with then team Manager Matt Plumb in the home dugout prior to his move 'upstairs' in the summer of 2015:

Eynesbury Rovers don't appear to have any complaints about moving to the United Counties League Premier Division South, unlike some Club's who shall remain nameless:

A nice aerial view of Hall Road:

Not sure why this aerial photograph has disappeared although 'we' sadly won't be visiting Hall Road next season unless drawn in the FA Cup or FA Vase:
