Club History
 Shrivenham Football Club was formed in 1900 and just eight years later the infant club became one of the founder members of the North Berks League. Success in the early years was hard to find but after winning the Second Division crown at the end of the 1994-95 campaign, two Division One Championships were to follow - in 1997-98 a season which also included the club winning the Charity Shield, and again in 2000-01, which after completing the required ground improvements, saw the club promoted to Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One West at the second time of asking.

With our inaugural Hellenic League season ending with a creditable twelfth placed finish a period of building began and after gaining some stability in the league, a further title winning season followed in 2004-05 and the club gained promotion to the Hellenic Premier Division by winning the league by a single point in what was unarguably the most amazing season the club had ever experienced.

A club record breaking eighth place finish was recorded in 2007-08 – the highest league place the club had achieved prior to the 2018-19 Season, however a gradual decline began and despite avoiding relegation after finishing bottom of the table in 2012-13, just two seasons later relegation was confirmed after a nineteenth placed finish and a decade of Hellenic Premier League football brought a tough era to an end.

Two seasons of mid-table mediocrity ensued, however the club appointed a new Chairman ahead of the 2017-18 campaign and the introduction of a new management team soon followed as the club began rebuilding its ambitions and the bid to return to the Hellenic Premier Division.

That goal was achieved at the first attempt as an amazing 12-game unbeaten run to the end of the season found the club in second place, and in an exciting final day which saw promotion rivals Easington Sports in third place, needing a result at home and Shrivvy without a fixture, Sports suffered the heartache of defeat against midtable Letcombe and Shrivvy clung on to gain promotion.

Shrivenham had a difficult start to the 2018-19 Season in the Premier Division and were bottom of the table at one stage but an amazing unbeaten run of games saw them eventually finish in fifth place, their highest ever position at Step 5 level.

Season 2019-20 saw Shrivenham having another good season and sat in 4th position in the standings when the season was curtailed early due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the off season saw manager Gareth Davies step down in order to take a break from the game and Chris Hurley was appointed as his successor shortly before the season was due to start. With a makeshift squad, the club endured a difficult start but despite being in bottom spot by the time the season came to a halt due to the Covid pandemic, new faces had begun to arrive and things were looking up once again, however by the time preseason arrived a lack of First XI players at the opening training session brought back memories of the previous campaign, and in a bid to continue moving forwards, Chris Hurley saw his time at Barrington Park come to a close.

The club then recruited the management duo of Robin Broadbank and Daniel Broadbank for the 2021-22 Season who steered the side to a 15th place finish in their first season in charge. They remained in the post for Season 2022-23 but parted company with the club part way through the 2022-23 Season. Despite finishing in a creditable 14th spot issues within the club meant that during the summer of 2023 Shrivenham made the difficult decision to drop out of the National League System, down to levels to National Feeder League level and the Wiltshire Senior League. Season 2023-24 will see them participate in the Wiltshire Senior League for the very first time, along with their Development side, although their under 18s have previously been members of the league.

After dropping down from the Hellenic League Shrivenham were to have a much more enjoyable season in the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League and they were to achieve a top half the table finish in their first season in the league. On their day the young Shrivenham side were capable of beating anyone as demonstrated by their 2-1 away win at eventual champions Amesbury Town. If the form they showed at the end of last season can be replicated in Season 2024-25 they could well be challenging for honours.
