Surrey Stingers

The Surrey Stingers are a member of the 's Southern Conference-Southern Division.
The Stingers were founded in 1993 under the guidance of Chris Pye, and were initially coached by ex-London Monarchs player Todd Oberdorf. They quickly gained support from several local companies, and obtained enough kit and players to join the BCAFL for the 1994-95 season under Head Coach Pete Vaughan. The Stingers played their first game, a friendly against division rival Hertfordshire in May 1994, losing 30-0. After a slow start in their first year in the League, the Stingers won their final two games, defeating Hertfordshire 6-2 and Reading 16-0. The Stingers' record was only slightly better the next year, but improved as the season progressed.
Ever since then the Stingers have been consistent competitors, but have only reached the playoffs twice, by capturing division titles in 2002 & 2006.
The 2007-2008 season will see the team move to a new strip, wearing university colours for the first time in club history. This is in conjunction with a complete rebranding, including new logo, with the traditional cartoon Stinger becoming the official image for the University of Surrey Stingers Old Boys team.
