Woodham Mortimer joined the Mid-Essex league for the start of the 1985 season under the captaincy of David Underwood. In that first season the club finished a credible second in Division 5 and were promoted. Prior to that the club played friendlies on Saturday and Sunday putting out a stronger team on Saturday. The second team joined the league in 1988. After 10 years as captain Kev Wright stood down at the end of 2021 and Dan Smith picked up the reins. Dan stood down after 3 seasons at the beginning of the 2024 season and club stalwart Toby Patemen stepped into the role. For 2025 Damian Abeyratna has stepped up to captain our club and we are all very excited to watch the new season unfold with Damian at the helm, supported by new Vice Captain Ollie Glasson.
