OPPOSITION:
BALHAM FC
Balham FC was formed in 2011 in order to provide player progression into open
age football for the hugely talented, high achieving age group teams of Balham
Blazers FC, which was founded by Greg Cruttwell in 2001.
Having won back-to-back promotions in 2011/12 and 2012/13 Balham did the
league and cup double in the Surrey South Eastern Combination in 2013/14.
In 2014/15 Balham finished in a promotion position again, in the Surrey Elite
Intermediate Football League, however promotion was denied due to Combined
Counties League facility requirements not being met.
Having moved to ground share with Cobham FC, in order to meet the facility
requirements, Balham finished as runners up in the SEIFL in 2015/16
and as a result were promoted to Division One of the Combined Counties League
for the 2016/17 season.
The club had an exceptional first league campaign at Step 6, finishing in a pro-
motion position for the sixth consecutive season and winning the London Senior
Trophy.
In 2017/18 the club had an equally exceptional season, finishing 5th at Step 5 in
the Premier Division of the CCL and winning the London Senior Cup.
2021/22 will be the club’s fifth season at step 5.
