[edit] 2005-6 Season
This has been the most successful season in the club's history. The first team won the UH Cup and look safe in the ULU Premier One League. The second team have gone from fighting relegation relegation to pushing for promotion in ULU division 2 The club also won The Association Cup at this year's Association dinner for being the most successful team within Barts and The London Students' Association. The Third team won the ULU vase, but were controversially relegated from ULU division 3 despite being one game away from promotion. This was due to an unfortunate ruling by the ULU disciplinary committee who decided that a disagreement between the Barts captain and the Goldsmiths captain about appropriate conduct on the pitch, could only be resolved by relegating both teams. King's, who broke several ULU regulations by refusing to field a team against Barts in the last match of the season were granted promotion however. A disappointing end to a spectacular season for the club. At the 2006 Annual General Meeting the elections for next years captains was made. Adrian Conner (Cottee) taking 1st team captain. Raphael Teotino (Speroni) the 2nd team captain and Joseph Weston-Price (Stamp) as the new 3rd team captain.
