Billericay Town
A non-league local force in the seventies, Billericay Town won three of the first five F.A Vase competitions in that decade to go with seven league titles and numerous cups. Such success landed the Blues in the Isthmian Leagues and immediate back-to-back promotions. The two-time Isthmian Premier winners has seen the Essex club reach the National South for brief spells, but relegation two years ago returned the Blues to step three.
2023/2024 Season
Isthmian Premier: 6th
F.A Cup: 4th Qualifying Round
F.A Trophy: 3rd Round
County Cup: 3rd Round
Top League Scorer: Bradley Stevenson (18 goals)
Last season Billericay Town narrowly missed out on the playoffs falling three points shy of fifth place. A late run of six consecutive victories wasn’t quite enough, but was an excellent recovery after a run of one point from eight outings in February and March. The Blues ended up with the third best defence in the division.
Manager – Gary McCann
Joining the club in April last year on a three-year contract, Gary McCann took Hampton and Richmond Borough to the National South playoffs in consecutive seasons in his previous job. Four years ago, he was denied a hat-trick of playoff qualifications based on points per game. Prior his spell at the Beavers, McCann enjoyed 13 years at Hendon and guided them to the Isthmian Premier Promotional Final in his final season there.
