The Maidenhead Advertiser online archive, has revealed that the first recorded matches took place in 1880 against Boyne Hill, with the clubs winning one match apiece.
The club as we know it today was founded in 1893, not 1885 as previously thought, with its first match taking place opposite the Shire Horse Centre and ending in a win for the Green against Maidenhead Thicket.
Pinkneys had a full list of friendlies from this point on, playing opponents who remain to this day such as Cookham Dean, Littlewick Green, Crazies Hill, Little Marlow and Holyport.
The Musselwhite family was the backbone of the club at the time, father John being the publican of the Waggon & Horses (now known as the Boundary Arms) with five of his sons turning out for the Green. Many of the players worked at Cooper's Brick and Tile works on Winter Hill Road near the Golden Ball pub.
