Established in 1946, Raunds Town take their nickname – The Shopmates – from a local boot and shoe industry. A long-time member of the United Counties League, the club did have a short spell in the Southern League during the mid-1990s. For us, we first met ’em in the 1980-1 United Counties League Division One season. Two years after we won the title, the Shopmates did so too and followed us into the Premier Division for our last term as a UCL club.
