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. Both the under 10s and under 12s teams both gained promotion. Both the Under 11s and 13s Girls won the Fair Play award for their Division and the Girls under 12s won the Wickersley Youth Tournament.
For season 2008 - 2009 the club will now have 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 will also see the forming of an Over 35s team as well as the setting up of a number of extra girls teams.
To help the financial running of the club each team is sponsored by one or more local businesses.
