The Hertfordshire Cheetahs are celebrating
their 30th Anniversary
season in 2016 and are one of the United
Kingdom’s longest running clubs.
The Chiltern Cheetahs were formed in the summer of 1986 by a group of
friends based in Amersham,
Buckinghamshire and on the 30 November 1986 they played their first ever
game; a 0 - 9 defeat to the St Albans
Kestrels in front of 1800 spectators.
Throughout
the next 30 years the team moved location and changed name, but never lost
their Cheetah identity. Now the
Hertfordshire Cheetahs, the team play their home games at St. Albans Rugby Club and boast squads for everyone from the age of
8 and up.
Honorary
life president and former Atlanta
Falcons kicker Mick Luckhurst
said: “How time flies! It does not seem very long ago that I was asked to be
the President of the St Albans Kestrel's team. Now, 30 years later football in Hertfordshire is still thriving thanks to the
Cheetah's dedicated staff, coaches and players, well done, I am proud and
excited for y’all!”
“Back in the 80’s they said “this American Football won’t last”,
well I am proud to tell anyone that will listen, look at my Hertfordshire
Cheetahs go! Congratulations on the teams 30th Anniversary. I am a proud supporter
and have been for 30 years. Go Cheetahs!”
In 2016 the
club will be hosting a number of celebratory events including a homecoming game
inviting former players and merchandise featuring the 30th Anniversary
logo will be available via the club shop.
The current squad members will also wear a ‘30’ on the backs of their
helmets.
