Harworth Colliery Football Club is an English football club based in Harworth and Bircotes, Nottinghamshire. The club are currently members of the Central Midlands Alliance Premier Division North.
History
[edit]The club was formed as Harworth Colliery Athletic in 1931 and initially played in local leagues before joining the Yorkshire League as Harworth Colliery Institute after the Second World War, remaining in that League until the Northern Counties East League was formed in 1982. Harworth spent four years in that league before joining the Central Midlands League as a founder member of the Supreme Division. Runners-up in the first season, Harworth Colliery was top in the following season. The club was relegated to the Premier Division in 2001 before being placed back in the Supreme Division when the League was reorganised.
In the 1979–80 season, the club reached the third round of the FA Vase competition. Harworth has also competed in the FA Cup but has never progressed past the second qualifying round.[1][2]
After a few shaky years in the Central Midlands Division One finishing in the lower regions of the league the club took the opportunity to be promoted to the Supreme Division for the 2008–09 season. The team was top of the league for the majority of the season, but with injuries and suspensions towards the end of the season the team finished in seventh place. After the season, the manager Mark Brogan stepped down after two years in charge.
