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.
At the weekend they came away with a 1-1 draw at league leaders St Ives, and followed that with victory at Chalfont St Peter on Tuesday evening. Prior to that they had drawn at Royston in a run of seven unbeaten league games.
