The club is affiliated to the Hertfordshire Football Association.[1]

History

Oxhey Jets Football Club was formed in 1972 as a youth team, before progressing into a senior team in the early 1980s.[2][3][4] The Jets joined the Herts Senior County League in 1981, competing in Division One. After gaining promotion in 1989, the club spent fifteen seasons in the Premier Division before being rewarded with a place in the Spartan South Midlands League in 2004.

The 2004–05 season saw The Jets gain their second successive promotion when they became Spartan South Midlands League Division One champions.[5] As a result of competing in the Premier Division in the 2005-06 season, they were able to make their debut in the FA Cup. Unfortunately, The Jets lost at home to Lowestoft Town in the preliminary round.[6] In February 2012, Oxhey Jets became only the second ever Spartan South Midlands League club to reach the final of the Herts Senior Cup, when they overcame Cheshunt in the semi-final.[7] They were beaten 7–2 in the final by Bishop's Stortford.[8]
