[edit] History
The team came out of a merger between the All Saints and Jones Town Football teams in 1977. Arnett’s fans originate primarily from Arnett Gardens and it's adjoining communities - Jones Town, Craig Town, Hannah Town, & Admiral Town. The Junglists, as their fans are known, are very passionate and vociferous about their team and will travel all over the country in support of the team. The Arnett Gardens part of Kingston is popularly known as the Concrete Jungle, hence the nickname of the club.
The club won the league in its very first season, 1978. Although it suffered a long drought after that, it re-emerged recently, winning both the 2000/1 and 2001/2 championships. In the recently concluded 2006/7 season, Arnett Gardens finished in eight position.
The start of the 2007/2008 season has been one of their worst ever and forced coach Max Straw to resign on January 14 to be replaced by former coach Jerome Waite,[1], who led Arnett Gardens to the celebrated back-to-back titles of 2001 and 2002.
