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:
“However far modern science and technics have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson: Nothing is impossible.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
