May & Baker Football Club is a football club based in Dagenham, Greater London, England. They are currently members of the Eastern Counties League Division One South and play at Gale Street, Dagenham, where they share with Barking RFC.[1]

History

Under the name M&B Club, the club began playing at the M&B Sports and Social Club in Dagenham, close to the May & Baker factory from which the club gets its name. They became members of the Essex Business Houses League and won the League Cup in 2005–06. The club subsequently joined Division Three of the Essex Olympian League the following season.[2] The club were Division Three runners-up in their first season in the league, and were promoted to Division Two, which was renamed Division One prior to the next season.[2] The 2007–08 season saw them finish second in Division One, earning promotion to the Premier Division. Despite finishing fifth in the Premier Division the following season, they were demoted back to Division One. However, the club went on to win the Division One title in 2009–10 and were promoted back to the Premier Division.[2] They won the Denny King Memorial Cup in 2011–12.[3]

In 2014 the club were renamed May and Baker Eastbrook Community,[4] reflecting the area of Dagenham in which the club is based. They won the Essex Junior Cup in 2016–17,[3] and moved up to the newly created Division One South of the Eastern Counties League at the end of the following season.
