2007/08 SEASON
The 1960’s was a lean time for the Club with no major trophies added to the Trophy cabinet. However by the middle of the 1970’s the club’s fortunes had changed with Roy Walsh (Albert Daughters nephew) as manager. Once again the Club won many trophies. In 1977 Dedham Old Boys F.C. Played a match against Harwich and Parkeston Football Club at the Royal Oak ground to celebrate the Centenary of both clubs, Harwich and Parkeston won the match 2 - 0. A copy of the programme from that match survives, see the image alongside for the front cover and a list of players for both teams
1970 to 2000
The success of the 1970’s continued on into the 1980’s. In particular the 1982/3 season was noteworthy in that the club won the Colchester & East Essex League, The Amos Charity Cup, The Bromley Charity Cup, Essex Junior Trophy - Area Winners and finalists in the Harwich Charity Cup.
In the 1983/84 season the club decided to try its luck at a higher level of local football by joining the Essex & Suffolk Border league., resulting in the club winning Division 3. The following season the club were runners up in Division 2, thereby gaining promotion to Division 1.
The next few seasons saw the club playing in Division 1 but in 1990/91 they were runners up in Division 1, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. Over the next three season the club finished in the top 5 of the Premier Division. However by the 1995/96 season many of the better players had moved on to other clubs, resulting in the team being relegated back to Divison 1.
For the next few years with various managers, the club maintained a mid table position in Division 1.
