Grove Farm Ravens formed in 2004 and were a mixture of the Ravens and Jets having played a year above their age for a season. Managed by Roy Cooke it was clear from the beginning that they were going to do well and so it proved when the lads came runners up in the Astro League at the end of the 2004/05 season. A number of tournament successes saw them lift the winners trophy at their own Grove Farm tournament and coming runners up at Bedworth eagles. Season 2005/06 saw a change of manager with Bob Alcock taking over at the helm. The lads continued to play excellent football and got their rewards coming runners up in the Monarch league and making it to the Police Cup Final at Nuneaton Boroughs Manor Park stadium. Although they lost the final 1-0, it was a day none of the lads or supporters will forget. History repeated itself when they won the Grove Farm tournament and came runners up at Bedworth Eagles. Season 2006/07 was a tough one for the lads, drawing nearly as many games as they won, however they continued to battle on and although they didn't gain any league honours this season they still have a lot to be proud of including one of the best defensive records in the league. On the tournament front, although they didn't manage a "triple crown" at the Grove Farn Tournament, they did themselves proud at Bedworth Eagles, seeing off some very tough opposistion to lift the winners trophy.
The 2007/08 season saw the lads move to eleven a side and a large pitch. The team coped very well and played some nice football. The lads got there just rewards coming third in the league.The highlight of the season was reaching the Police Cup final for the second time. Although they lost, it was an extremely tight game with the lads showing great effort and commitment throughout. On the tournament front, the lads left it to the last tournament of the summer at Haunchwood to earn a well deserved victory and lift the winners cup.
Bob Alcock, the Ravens manager says " I've been extremely proud of the lads during the last four seasons.The first two seasons brought great success for the team. The third season wasn't so successful but the lads picked themselves up and together with the new lads in the team played some impressive football.This year I both myself and Paul hope the lads can push further and reach the level we all know they are capable of.If the lads continue to work hard, they will do well in the league. Whatever the outcome I'm sure the lads will continue to love their football and I will continue to be very proud to be their manager.
