Team Details

More about the team

THE AFC HALF MOON STORY BEGAN WHEN THE CLUB WAS FOUNDED IN OCTOBER 2010. ORIGINALLY, THE CLUB WAS FOUNDED UNDER THE NAME OF THE VICKY BLUES. WE PLAYED OUR LEAGUE GAMES AT POWERLEAGUE IN FAIRLOP. FOR 2 YEARS THE TEAM PLAYED IN 5 SIDE AND 7 A SIDE LEAGUE FORMATS COMPETING IN BOTH PREMIER AND SECOND DIVISIONS.

THE MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT WAS OUR ONE AND ONLY LEAGUE TITLE TO DATE HAVING WON THE 7 A SIDE DIVISION 2 TITLE AND GAINING PROMOTION TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE IN 2011. IN THE SEASON THAT FOLLOWED, THE BLUES CHANGED THEIR TEAM NAME TO THE RAINES REJECTS WHICH WAS FITTING CONSIDERING WHERE THE PLAYERS ORIGINALLY MET AND FORMED THE TEAM. IN THAT SEASON THE TEAM HAD SURVIVED RELEGATION AFTER MANY TOUGH BATTLES HOWEVER THE COMPETITION WAS TOO STRONG FOLLOWING RELEGATION THE NEXT.

IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, THE TEAM FELT THE NEED FOR CHANGE. THEY WANTED A MORE COMPETTIVE AND MORE LIVELY COMPETITION AND LOCATION TO HONE THEIR SKILLS FURTHER. IN NOVEMBER 2012, THEY FOUND THEIR NEW HOME AT THE LONDON SOCCERDOME WITH THE SOCCERSIXES LEAGUES. THEY PLAYED 6 A SIDE FOOTBALL ON MONDAY NIGHTS WHICH THEY STILL DO TO THIS DAY.

THE TEAM ALSO DECIDED IN A CHANGE OF KIT AND IN NAME. THE TEAM DONED THE WHITE STRIP AND WITH THE NEW AND CURRENT NAME, AFC HALF MOON. HAVING STARTED IN DIVISION 7, THE TEAM LEARNED EARLY ON THAT THE COMPETITION WOULD BE MUCH TOUGHER THAN BEFORE. DESPITE THAT, THE PLAYERS HAVE IMPROVED IMMENSLEY OVER THE YEARS RECORDING AN IMPRESSIVE 3RD PLACE IN THEIR DEBUT SEASON AFTER BEING NARROWLY PIPPED TO PROMOTION AND THE DIVISION 7 TITLE AT THE LAST HURDLE.

SINCE THEN THE TEAM HAVE RECORDED AN IMPRESSIVE 3 PROMOTIONS AND ONE RELEGATION. THE TEAM ARE CURRENTLY 2ND IN DIVISION 5 WITH PROMOTION AND THE TITLE IN THEIR SIGHTS. SINCE THE BEGINNING, THE TEAM HAVE HAD MANY PLAYERS COME AND GO BUT THE CURRENT CROP OF TALENT CONSISTING OF MANY OF THE ORIGINALS AND NEW PLAYERS FIGHTING IT OUT EVERY WEEK TO ACHIEVE THE VERY BEST IN THE MIGHTY RED STRIP THAT THEY WEAR PROUDLY. HOPEFULLY THE BEST IS YET TO COME, COME ON THE MOON!!!

AFC HALF MOON is a small-sided football team based in Greenwich, London. They play in the Division 5 of the SoccerSixes leagues.

History

The club was founded in October 2010 under the name of the Vicky Blues. They played their league games at Powerleague in Fairlop. For two years, the team played in 5-a-side and 7-a-side league formats, competing in both Premier and Second Divisions. Their most notable achievement to date was winning the 7-a-side Division 2 title and gaining promotion to the Premier League in 2011.

In the season that followed, the Blues changed their team name to the Raines Rejects, which was fitting considering where the players originally met and formed the team. In that season, the team survived relegation after many tough battles, but the competition was too strong the following season and they were relegated.

In the summer of 2012, the team felt the need for change. They wanted a more competitive and lively competition and location to hone their skills further. In November 2012, they found their new home at the London Soccerdome with the SoccerSixes leagues. They play 6-a-side football on Monday nights, which they still do to this day. The team also decided on a change of kit and in name. They donned the white strip and with the new and current name, AFC HALF MOON.

Recent Season

AFC HALF MOON finished third in Division 7 in their debut season, narrowly missing out on promotion. They have since recorded an impressive record, finishing second in Division 6 in 2014 and winning the division in 2015.
