History
AFC Hinksey started life as a pub team when The Shelley Arms F.C were formed in the 2006/07 season, by Gavin Preston. The team was entered into the RT Harris Football League, made up of teams from within the City of Oxford. The club hit the ground running and tasted success at the first attempt. The first season saw The Shelley Arms complete an historic treble which included the Doug Hobbs Cup, the RT Harris Senior Cup and the RT Harris First Division, gaining promotion to the Premier Division of The RT Harris Football League. The second season saw another trebble in the bag with the RTH Premier Cup, retaining RTH Senior Cup and winningthe RT Harris Premier Division, and in the process gaining promotion to the Oxfordshire Senior League. Oxfordshire Senior League guidelines stated that 'pub teams' were not to compete in their competition and so AFC Hinksey were born, moving to the Hinksey area of Oxford to play at Brasenose College. Starting in Division 2 of the Senior League, Hinksey again achieved promotion at the first attempt, The following season (2009/10) saw Hinksey win the Oxfordshire Senior League First Division claiming yet another promotion. By now, Hinksey had gained promotion in every season they had been in existence and in their fisrt season in the top division of the Senior League, Hinksey bagged a double, winning the Premier Division and the Oxfordshire Senior League Presidents Cup. The next season saw Hinksey again finish top of the Premier Division table only to be deducted 9 points in controversial circumstances. The club finished as runners up but were still eligable for promotion to the Hellenic League (and winning the Oxfordshire FA Charity Cup along the way). The rise up the football pyramid stalled slightly as Hinksey found their feet in the Hellenic Division One East but finishing securely in mid table. AFC Hinksey are now in their second season in the Uhlsport Hellenic Division One East.
