About Grendon Rangers

Grendon Rangers Football Club play in the village of Grendon Underwood in Buckinghamshire. We run teams from Under 7s through to Veterans and are affiliated to the Oxfordshire FA and to the Berks & Bucks FA.

We are very much a village club though players are drawn from across Bucks, Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire.

We aim to be the club of choice for village football in North Bucks and a role-model for successful village clubs everywhere.

14th June 2008 FOF becomes FOFAM! In 2006 Grendon rocked as the inaugural 'Grendon Festival of Football' came to town. On Saturday 14th June, the fun returns! Starting with the Grendon School Fete in the morning, running through the football presentations and fancy-dress matches in the afternoon, and then finishing with the 5 live bands on stage at Grendon Park from 6pm, it will be a wonderful day for the village and the local area. More details to follow .

26th April 2008 Over 50 players & family visited Wembley to see England Schools U18s versus Scotland. England ran out 2-0 winners. The highlight for many of us though was the finals of the ESFA National Primary School Competitions. This saw teams of boys and girls aged 11 and under from schools across England show tremendous skill and passion on this wonderful stage. Hopefully we saw many stars of the future! It also showed the children from Grendon just what level of flair and commitment we all aspire to!

29th Feb 2008 The GRFC 60th Anniversary Reunion was a storming success with over 100 former players and officials from the last 6 decades gathering at Westcott Social Club on 29th February.

Thanks to the Committee including Paul Jackman, Pete Busby and Carol Scanlon for their unstinting efforts.

31st Dec 2007 The New Years Eve bash was an extremely enjoyable evening with about 85 people in their 1920's gear. The disco played 1920's tunes as background to the excellent meal prepared by the Supporters Club, and then a good mixture of dance music - including the Charleston (!) - afterwards. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves at what was generally agreed to be an extremely successful event. An enormous vote of thanks must go to Bev, Carole, Elaine and Helen for their hard work before, during and after the event, and also their young helpers.
