[edit] Nickname
The nickname The Cooks comes from the fact that the village of Cogenhoe is pronounced cook-no.
[edit] History
They played in the Central Northants Combination from 1967-85, winning the championship in 1980-81, 1982-83 and 1983-84. They joined the United Counties League Division 1 for the 1985-86 season. After finishing runners-up in 1986-87, they were promoted to the Premier Division. They finished runners-up in 1999-2000 and 2000-01, and only failed to take the runners-up spot for a third year running on goal difference.[1] On the final day of the 2004-05 season, Cogenhoe were playing away to second-placed Potton United. They needed to win or draw to claim the title, and drew 2-2, however the lack of a suitable home stadium meant the team was not promoted.
[edit] Records
Their record attendance of 1,000 was against an Eastenders XI, for a charity match in 1990. They beat Ravensthorpe 22-0 in 1979-80.
[edit] Ground
The ground is Compton Park in Brafield Road, Cogenhoe. The club built the facilities and moved into them in 1985. Of the capacity of 5,000, there are 100 seats, and 200 under cover. The first competitive match played at Compton Park was the final match in the Central Combination, when Cogenhoe defeated Bugbrooke St.Michaels 1-0 with Jason Moore scoring the first goal on this ground.
