Hampton & Richmond Borough F.C.

Early years

Hampton's early years were spent in the Kingston & District and the South West Middlesex Leagues. Although twice winning the Kingston & District title in the early 1930s the club never managed to capture the South West Middlesex League title during their 26-year stay.

Senior football

In 1959, Hampton entered the senior football ranks as members of the Surrey Senior League, despite being based in Middlesex. In 1964 they won the championship and stepped up into the Spartan League where they enjoyed seven seasons of unparalleled success. The club captured the Spartan League title four times in 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1970 as well as finishing runners-up in 1968. They never finished outside the top four places during their stay. In 1971 they were elected to the Second Division of the Athenian League. After narrowly missing promotion in their first season, Hampton finished runners-up to Ruislip Manor in 1973. By this time, though, the Beavers had already been elected to the newly formed Second Division (now First Division) of the Isthmian League.

Isthmian League to 2003

The club were to remain in Division Two of the Isthmian League until 1990, when they suffered their first relegation. Worse was to follow as the two regionalised Second Divisions were split in 1991 to form a Second and Third set-up. The Beavers found themselves one place below the dividing line and were relegated to the Third Division for the 1991–92 season. Although missing…

Hampton & Richmond Borough's most recent major honour is their Isthmian Premier League Championship victory of 2015–16. After heading the table in January, they fought a close battle with East Thurrock Utd and Bognor Regis Town, which was only settled on the final day of the season. A point from a hard-fought 0–0 draw at home to Enfield Town was enough to see them to the title as Bognor put in a late run, the Rocks ending a point behind the Beavers with the same goal difference. In May 2014, the club also won the Middlesex Senior Cup following a 3–2 victory over Wealdstone, that season's Isthmian League champions. Their previous trophy outside of this had been the Middlesex Super Cup, a regional cup for the county of Middlesex, whereby the winners of the previous season's two local tournaments face each other. Hampton & Richmond won this on 10 October 2006, they entered as the Middlesex Senior Cup holders, and were victorious over Harrow Borough, the Middlesex Charity Cup holders. Hampton would go on to win the Senior Cup again in 2016-17. League
