The season 2004 - 2005 saw the club start up its fifth team and during the season our under 11s won their division, only losing one game all season.
This season (2005 - 2006) saw the club continue to improve with the now under 12s winning the Aston Juniors Tournament close season. The club exspanded to eight junior teams and also started up its first Senior team, which was entered in the Regional Alliance Sunday Football League. The season saw our newly formed under 10s gain promotion and the under 12s winning the Fair Play Award for the whole of their age group as well as the club becoming a development club for Rotherham United.
This season 2006 - 2007 saw the setting up of two girls teams and just prior to the start of the season the club was awarded the FA Charter Standard Award to show the club meets the FAs criteria on how a club should be run.
This season 2007 - 2008 the club managed to meet its aim of entering a team at every age group in the boys junior league as well as girls and mens teams in their respective leagues. The under 10s and under 12s teams both gained promotion with the Under 8s and 15s winning their Fair Play award for their Division. The Under 11s and 13s Girls also won the Fair Play award for their Division and the Girls under 12s won the Wickersley Youth Tournament.
This season 2008 - 2009 the club now has its own home grounds based at Rainbow Forge School at Hackenthorpe and it is hoped through grants from various bodies that we will be able to develop the area to meet all our needs. This season saw the Under 14s girls and Under 10s boys both with their league undefeated, the under 14s boys gained promotion and the under 15s boys reached the Trophy final.
The season 2009 - 2010 saw the club hold its very first tournament at Rainbow Forge School with the Boys Under 11s and the Girls Under 11s winning their age groups whilst the Girls Under 13s and 14s and Boys Under 14s came runner up. The Girls Under 11s had won the Maltby Miners Welfare Tournament the week before.
To help the financial running of the club each team is sponsored by one or more local businesses.
