Chapel side was formed as early as 1921, playing in a competitive Manchester League .In 1958 Chapel United amalgamated with Chapel Celtic and became Chapel Town Athletic Football Club playing in the Manchester League for a further seven years. A spell in the Fairfield League followed before the Club joined the Hope Valley League some thirty years ago. In the early 1960’s Chapel Town moved from the Memorial Park to our own ground – Rowton Park and now enjoy a superb playing surface maintained by the hardworking grounds men. Chapel Town have just re-entered the Manchester league in the 2005/2006 season in search of a higher standard of football. After a 9th and a 10th finish in the Manchester League First Division, they then took 2007/08 by storm winning every game at Rowton Park and the league promoting them into the Manchester League Premier Division.
