GU were also at their best on the pitch as the team won the Orange FA Cup on three occasions and capped the success with a first league title in 13 years, winning the domestic crown in 2022. The Reds were set to assemble for the AGM at the start of the season but the meeting was postponed as members failed to form a quorum.
