An incredible season!2004-2005. We must keep pushing Fulbourn forward, bringing in good players and improving the whole club.” – Dave Abbs (May 2004)

The management team of Dave Abbs and Dick Collinge guided our 1st team through our first season in the Ridgeons League. After a competitive season we finished third in the league, which was a promotional position. We scored over 100 goals an enjoyed every moment the season offered, players, managers and supporters agreed. Unfortunately we could not stay in this league due to ground requirements for playing at this standard. Our local council did not support our planning application to develop an area, so the 1st team / village of Fulbourn lost a great opportunity.
