Welcome to Shooting Stars F.C.
Description
Shooting Stars is a multi cultural Club, formed in 1991 but only became officially recognized in 1996 (when we officially registered with the London Football Association). In the autumn 1996 we joined the Islington Mid-week Football League, where we competed in the third division. We were successfully promoted consecutively, in the two seasons while in Midweek league.We joined the London Intermediate League for season 1999/2000. Changing to a higher standard League meant our name had to change in order to reflect the area of London we represent.
We proudly added 'Islington' to our name because it is where the team is based and the borough in which most of the players live.In the first two seasons (1999/2000 & 2000/2001) in this league we learnt a lot after finishing bottom and third from bottom respectively. The reason for this bad start to the League was that it is a more competitive League than the Mid-week League.
In addition, the level of commitment from many of the players, especially in the first season, was very poor. During season 2001-2002 we were more consistent. Thus we reached quarterfinals of the London Cup and finished 6th in the league. As the squad increased in size, depth and quality it became necessary to form two teams.
