About Grendon Rangers

Grendon Rangers Football Club play in the village of Grendon Underwood in Buckinghamshire. We run teams from Under 7s through to men's teams 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.

Men into 2 more finals...

Grendon Rangers have reached the final of the Oving Villages Cup at the first attempt, after not entering the competition for many years, by beating Long Crendon 6-1 in their semi final. Our opponents will be Steeple Claydon who beat Wingrave 6-0 in the other semi.

The competition is reckoned to be the second or third longest surviving football competition in the country having first been contested in 1890, when Long Crendon beat Oving 2-0 in the final, and is for villages within a 12 mile radius of Oving.

The match, as every year, will be at Oving on Easter Monday afternoon.

For more information on the competition visit www.ovingvillagecup.com.

The First Team have also now reached the final of the Alan Holman Cup (which we hold) with a 4-2 semi final win over Syresham - goals from Adam Perna(2) Johnny Fulcher and Shaun Alderman.

Our opponents in the Final will be either -you have guessed it- Steeple Claydon or Thornborough.

Congratulations and well done to Ian and everyone concerned.

Reserves promoted...

Big congratulations also to the Reserves who have been promoted to Division 1 of the North Bucks League following a very strong showing last year. In a tough division they have held their own and currently sit mid-table.
