2010 season edit
For the 2010 season SexyPöxyt were competing in Section 1 (Lohko 1) of the Kolmonen administered by the Helsinki SPL and Uusimaa SPL. This was the fourth highest tier in the Finnish football system. It was a significant season for the club as they were celebrating their 25th anniversary.
After promotion to the Second Division in 2011, SexyPöxyt had been forced to change their name to the tamer Pöxyt, so as not to fall foul of league rules restricting frivolous names at higher levels.
