The History of Soham Town Rangers F.C.

 

 

 

Soham Town Rangers were founded in 1947 when Soham Town (1920) and Soham Rangers amalgamated. The club started in the Cambs league and also had a reserve team.

 

A move to the Peterborough League in 1956 was a start of what the club is today, during this period the club won the League and the League cup on two occasions. They joined the Eastern Counties League in 1963. At the end of season 1988/89 together with arch rivals Ely City they were relegated to the newly formed 1st division of the Jewson League.

 

Season 1990/91 saw the club lift the Cambs Invitation Cup beating Wisbech Town and Cambridge City on the way to a final win over March Town Utd 4-1.

 

1992/93 saw Soham gain promotion back to the Premier Division after finishing runners up in Division one to Sudbury Wanderers.

 

Soham won the Cambs Invitation Cup once again in 1997/98 and 1998/99 beating Wisbech Town and Newmarket Town respectively.

 

Season 2000/01 saw Soham lift the first Millennium Trophy with a penalty shoot out victory over Diss Town on thier own ground.

 

The season 2002/03 was the best Soham Town Rangers have had in the Eastern Counties League finishing in 3rd place behind AFC Sudbury and Wroxham.

 

The 2003/04 season saw Soham finish 5th and reach the League Cup Final for the first time in thier history, narrowly losing 2-1 in after extra time to Maldon Town.

 

In the season 2004/05 Soham had a great FA Vase run it ended with a one nil defeat at home against the run of play, Soham also finished seventh in the league one place behind Mildenhall this was also the season when manager Kevin Pritchard was released of his managerment duties.

 

This season Soham will be managed by Ian Benjamin and will hopefully bring a bit of silverwear to the club.

 

Tribute must go to Chairman Mr Colin Murfitt for the excellant facilities we have at Soham, which has seen the completion of a covered walkway completely behind the goal at the Dog s**t alley end.

'account pending approval' don't hold out much hope in this being approved as, in their own words, the webmaster is a bit crap.

 

"Webmaster:-Jay Collen, E-mail:- strfc@fsmail.net The comments on the guestbook may not be from Strfc and the webmaster is not reliable for what is said in the guestbook."

Bring 'em on. We should try to get as many posters etc out as possible, get a crowd of 500 plus down there and treat them to the full Urchin welcome.

1 notice they beat the animals of Leiston 4-2 at home recently.As i think the team has improved since we played Leiston in pre season it should a close game.

Also they lost 1-0 to Cogenhoe utd pre season.
