[edit] Football team success

The 1st XI Senior football team had a very successful 07/08 season having claimed the Dacorum district cup (after defeating Hemel Hempstead School 5-2) and finishing top of the premier division in the Hertfordshire county league. This made them the first football team in the school's history to claim two trophies in one season. The team also beat the Hertfordshire county team 5-3 in a one off match at the end of the season, with Albert Squires Adams and captain Ryan Rowe scoring 2 apiece, with centre back Jack Blackburn also on the scoresheet. This completed a history making season for the Kings Langley School first XI.

Manager: Johnathon Annett Known as Annett by the squad. He has brought confidence and belief to the squad that has won them two major trophies in the 07-08 season. He has gained legendary status by being the first manager in Kings Langley Schools history by winning two trophies in a season. The most recent district cup Annett was in his element giving the squad full faith in capturing the District Cup and destroying Hemel Hempstead School 5-2 a majestic performance.
