| Formed as Waterlooville Jubilee Club FC in the year 2000 by Mick Pigott and Stuart Martin. Mick was coaching at Petersfield Town Youth |
| at that time, and the current group of players were at the age that they had to step up an age group into Adult football. At the same time |
| Stuart’s team Lynx Sports had just disbanded on a Sunday afternoon and some of the players didn’t have a club to move on to. Stuart |
| decided he wanted to start his own team and approached his long time friend Mick to become the team’s manager. Mick felt some of his |
| players may have had to wait a while to get their chance to play in the first team at Petersfield Town so offered them a chance to stay together |
| and gain experience in adult football and agreed to take on the post as manager. Both sets of players were put together to create the team. |
| The club was then named as Waterlooville Jubilee Club FC as it was at the Waterlooville Jubilee Club where all the meetings to start the team |
| had taken place and where both Mick and Stuart were regular members. It was also agreed Mick would become Club Chairman, Stuart Club |
| Secretary and Dave Ayre would join as Club Treasurer. |
|
| The club affiliated a Sunday team to the Meon Valley Football League in time to start the 2000/01 season and were placed into Division Two. |
| In their first season the team gained promotion as champions to the top division where they have remained ever since. To date the team |
| has been very successful reaching a total of sixteen cup finals winning nine of them including being the first Meon Valley Football League |
| team for about 15 years to win the PFA Victory Cup, as well as winning the league twice and finishing runners up on three occasions. |
| The two most successful seasons were the 2004/05 season when the team won a league and cup treble and again in 2007/08 when the |
| team won a league and cup quadruple. Mick, Stuart, as well as Darren Moth and currently Matt Graham have all had spells as manager and |
| each have had played their part in the success. |
|
| In 2005 the Jubilee Club was taken over by new management and renamed Waterlooville Social Club so the football team followed |
| suit, at the same time a second team to play Saturday’s was formed and Mick and Stuart decided they would manage it together, |
| and so entered the Portsmouth Saturday Football League and were placed in the Premier Division. In their first season the team narrowly |
| avoided relegation but did go on to reach two cup finals winning one of them. Ever since it has been a steady building process and the |
| team have improved each season’s final league position finishing a very high third in the 2008/09 season. |
|
| The Club are also honoured to have been recognised by many from outside achieving various awards including club of year, once by |
| the Portsmouth Saturday Football League and twice from the Meon Valley Sunday Football League. Awarded Portsmouth |
| Referees Society Fair Play Winners Once and Runners Up Once. Stuart has also been awarded Club person of the year by the |
| Meon Valley Sunday Football League for all his hard work as Club Secretary, and in 2006 the Club was awarded Adult Charter |
| Standard status by Hampshire FA for meeting all the correct criteria for a properly run club. |
|
| In 2009 at the club’s AGM Jerry Goddard was voted in as Club Chairman taking over from Mick Pigott who decided to step down |
| and likewise Jon Ridges took over from Dave Ayre as Club Treasurer although Dave still remains on the clubs ever growing |
| committee as a club representative. |
