Billericay Town

Club History

Who are Billericay Town?

In the same year Boro’ were stepping up into senior football for the first time, the Blues were marking 100 years in existence. The historic milestone, funnily enough, also coincided with a golden spell for the club. The period between 1973 and 1981 threw up all manner of titles and successes, starting with three Essex Senior League titles in four years. Other honours included three FA Vase wins in four seasons; two Athenian League championships and successive promotions from Division Two North and Division One of the Isthmian League.

The story of us and them, however, starts a few seasons after reaching their peak. It was the 1986-7 Isthmian League Division One campaign, if you want us to be exact. From that, you can already see Billericay Town’s powers were on the wane. In our promotion-winning season from Div 2 North, the Blues finished up second-bottom of the Premier and were relegated. Our first away day at the higher level was, as it goes, down at New Lodge. Boro’ lost 3-2. We did, however, make up for that defeat later on in the season, winning 4-2 at home.
