How the club was formed.....
03 Aug 2009

The club was formed 31 years ago after a member of the Brandlesholme Residents Committee, Michael Varley, put an advert in the residents monthly magazine inviting any children interested in playing football for an under 11's team to turn up at a specific date and time. Over 70 children turned up, some to young who were encouraged to come back the following year so to attempt to make further teams for the club.
The under 11 team was managed by a local gentleman called Tony Park and he managed them to success in their first season by winning the Hamilton Cup.
After a couple of seasons, Frank Carse took over management of the team which played in the Bolton League on a Sunday. Frank was assisted by Ian Charlton who took over part of the team which then played in the North Bury League of which the club still plays in. Other key figures in founding the club were Renwick Richardson who became the club treasurer and who was responsible for many sponsorship deals which helped the club to grow and acquired the land at Ripon Hall Avenue through Peel Holdings for the club to have its own venue.

Thank you.
