The Club were relegated to the Premier Division of the Thames Valley Premier League however, resigned from the league midway through the following season.
The Chalvey Sports first team reformed with a much younger squad and joined the Hellenic League at Division Two East level for the 2023-24 season. It was a first attempt at men’s football for many of the squad members and the campaign was not great.
Chalvey Sports returned to the East Berkshire League at Premier Division level this season. The team is currently in 10th position in the table with two wins and five defeats in seven matches. The side has beaten F.C Beaconsfield and A.F.C Reading in the Premier Division so far this season.
Alfie O’Connor could be the main danger for Chalvey Sports in the Showcase Match having scored six goals in seven appearances - three from the penalty spot. Their opponents will need to watch out for James Hepburn too, he has scored twice in six matches in the campaign.
