History of Balliol College AFC
It's been a tough time for Balliol since captain Andy James led them to simultaneous relegation and Cuppers glory in 2004/05. It was only the second time that Balliol have won Cuppers, the first since 1931, and the goals that day in the 3-1 win over New came from a Thompson brace and Doree. That season's relagation from the Premier division was followed by relegation to the bottom tier of college football the following year. 2006/07 was better, and despite their title challenge fading in the final few weeks of the season, a third place finish was enough to ensure promotion back to the First division.
