Hump Street Calcio

History

The club was founded in 2002 when Angelo Ratto and Jeromy Weil decided to enter a team indoor at Turf City under the name Hump Street Futbol Club. This original team consisted of 10 members and blue t-shirs for jerseys. After a succesful indoor season in which the gialloblu won the indoor league, the team decided to enter a Men's Outdoor team in the GSSL A North. The team's first coach was Antonio Percontino and the first captain was Matt Percontino. The first official match took place on Sept 7th 2003 against their first rivals Lyndhurst FC which ended in a 1-1 draw. The first season marked the team's most succesful year in state cup play where the team reached the final 16 before losing on penalty kicks to Doxa. The team finished 3rd in the division and then won the A-North division the following year under coaches Jerry Romano and Mike Castella and met their most recent rivals Brownstone SC who has yet to beat the gialloblu up until this point. In its third season the team was cheated out of a repeat title in the GSSL A-North by a scandal within the league forcing the team to forfeit a match that would have won them the title. The most winningest coach in the team's history, Coach Castella was also removed of his duties making way for the team's most recent and youngest coach Nico Percontino. Following the incident the gialloblu have since moved into a more competitive league in the NJSL Premeir East Division. The gialloblu enjoyed their best season to date in 2006-2007 advancing the semi-finals of the NJ State Cup and winning the NJSL Premeir East Divison. The team also won the NJSL League Cup and reached the semi-finals of the NJSL Playoffs.
