Our Opponents
Uxbridge FC was initially founded in 1871, but the two initial manifestations of the club folded, and so the current club was formed at the start of the twentieth century. They had a spell in the Athenian League between the wars. They joined the Isthmian League in 1982 and switched at the Southern League in 2004.
They are known as the Reds and are managed by Tony Choules. Their website is here, and their Twitter feed here. Their club colours are red.
A late goal from Richard Bunting gave the Diamonds a 1-0 win at Honeycroft earlier in the season – report here.
