The 1960’s saw further success for Long Wittenham with North Berks Cup wins in 1964 and 1969. Unfortunately 1961 also saw the last, to date, of Long Wittenham’s 10 North Berks League wins.
This period also saw the club make the decision to move the cricket club to Clifton Hampden. The ever lengthening seasons making it increasingly difficult to accommodate both sports on Bodkins Sportsfield. The two teams maintain close links with many footballers continuing to play cricket at Clifton Hampden during the summer.
By the 70’s the victories were no longer on the scale of the previous years.
The 1974-75 season saw the Reserves chalk up their only AG Kingham Cup success to-date with a 2-0 win over Faringdon Town.
While the First team followed that 2 years later with the most recent of their 14 North Berks Cup wins. The trophy secured with a 1-0 win over local rivals Harwell Village.
On 19th January 1986 Long Wittenham Athletic Club faced their biggest challenge when fire destroyed the Pavilion. The Clubs Management Committee immediately estimated the cost of rebuilding to be between £20 and £30,000 with more required to replace the equipment lost in the fire.
A prefab building was sourced to use as a changing room to allow the club to continue playing in the North Berks League while fundraising began. Events such as a fun run, disco, and Mini Olympics were held and the club were able to move into their new clubhouse in September 1986.
The Club celebrated its 90th year with a Charity match against an Arsenal ex-pro and celebrity and even managed a now rare cup success with a Charity Shield win in the 95-96 season and runners-up medals after a 2-1 defeat by Saxton Rovers in the North Berks Cup Final.
The Clubs centenary was celebrated with a football weekend including a match against an Oxford Utd XI and the Allsports Centurians Challenge Cup Competition.
