Modern Club
The name Hillingdon Borough was resurrected in 1990 when Bromley Park Rangers took over the ground of Ruislip, with the help of four former directors from the old club, and changed their name. They are currently managed by Paul Lawrence. The club currently plays in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division. A youth team was established in the same year and a ladies' team in 1999.
In 2006, Hillingdon Borough reached the FA Vase final at St. Andrews, Birmingham, after an 11 game qualification route starting in the competition as early as the 2nd qualifying round, but lost 3-1 to Nantwich Town from Cheshire. Also in that year they finished 2nd in the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division, losing on goal difference to Oxford City. However they were promoted due to continued restructuring of non-league football, joining the Southern League Division One South & West. During the 2007–08 season, captain Danny Tilbury led Steve Ringrose's side to lift the Errea Cup (Southern League Cup) with a 3-1 win against premier side Clevedon having also won at Kings Lynn (that won the Premier Division that season) in the semi-final. Following the departure of Steve Ringrose and the majority of his key players in the summer the following season they were transferred to the Division One North, but struggled, finishing bottom. They returned to the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division for 2009–10.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or club:
“In most other modern societies working mothers are not put under these special and exaggerated pressures. For example, French and English mothers often prefer to breast-feed their babies, but they do not feel that their womanhood is at stake if they fail to do so. Nor does anyone else.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
“The adjustment of qualities is so perfect between men and women, and each is so necessary to the other, that the idea of inferiority is absurd.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 204 (August 1866)
