History

The club was formed in 1885 as Apsley F.C. and first played in the West Herts League, before joining the Herts County League in 1899. They played in this league off and on until 1952 when they joined the Delphian League, by which time they had changed their name to Hemel Hempstead F.C. The Hertfordshire Senior County League or Herts Senior County League is a football competition based in England. ... The Delphian League was an English amateur football league in and around London. ...

In 1955 the name was changed once again to Hemel Hempstead Town F.C. In 1962, with the dissolution of the Delphian League, the club joined the Athenian League in its new Division Two. They were promoted twice in consecutive seasons to reach the Premier Division but by 1969 had dropped back to Division Two. In 1971 the club merged with Hemel Hempstead United, with the merged club reverting to being called simply Hemel Hempstead. The Athenian League was an English amateur football league in and around London. ...

In 1977 the Tudors joined the Isthmian League, where they were to play for over 25 years. They found success hard to come by in this league, even dropping to Division Three for one season, but since the arrival of new chairman Dave Boggins in 1997 their fortunes have improved. In 1997-98 the club won the Isthmian League Division Three title, followed by the Division Two title in 1999-00, although in the latter instance they were not promoted due to ground grading issues. Nonetheless, a sixth-place finish in what was now Division One North in 2003-04 was enough to secure a place in the Southern League Premier Division after the reorganisation caused by the creation of Conference South. The Isthmian League is a regional football league covering London and South East England. ... The Southern League Premier Division is a football league covering central and south western England. ... The Football Conferences logo Conference South (often referred to as Nationwide South for sponsorship reasons) is one of the second divisions of the Football Conference in England, taking its place immediately below the Conference National. ...

Hemel's first season in the Southern Premier was a disappointing one, as they finished fourth from bottom and were relegated. After a somewhat middling campaign in the Division 1 West the following season, a late surge saw Hemel promoted via the playoffs after a dramatic 3-2 win over Brackley, having been 2-1 behind until the 81st minute. Map sources for Brackley at grid reference SP5837 Brackley is a town in south Northamptonshire, England. ...

A more prepared Hemel side took to the Premier Division for the 2006-07 season, where a sequence of ten wins in fifteen games took the Tudors to their highest ever finish of fifth, taking the last playoff spot. A long campaign took its toll as Hemel lost 3-1 in the semi-final to Team Bath. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into University of Bath. ...
