Dinnington
Colliery 1914/1919 entered in the wartime
Wharncliffe Charity League. This league due to shortage
of teams allowed entries from Minor leagues up to
the standard of The Football League.
Dinnington Main Colliery 1919/1928 rejoined the
Hatchard League. In 1921 made their first entry
into the FA cup. Against Silverwood Colliery loosing
after extra time 3-4. 1921/1928 promoted to the
Sheffield Association League.
Dinnington Athletic 1928/1937 war - 1946/1976
entered in the Sheffield Association League.
In 1932 won the prestigious Sheffield and Hallamshire
Senior Cup hence qualifying for the FA cup beating
Bentley Colliery and Silverwood Colliery by the
same 3-1 margin but lost to Rawmarsh Welfare in
the next round. Having waited many years, in 1934
saw the club get to the 1st round proper away against
Chester but lost 3-1. 1936/1937
were rewarded entry into the Yorkshire League. Their
high point winning the Second Division title in
1969/1970. Dinnington
Colliery 1976/1985 joined the Midland League. This
was the start of the decline of the Football Club.
In 1985 along with the Colliery itself, the club
folded. At the Start of the Millennium, Regeneration
of Dinnington had come at last. On the site of the
old Colliery and area around, new Factories, Supermarkets,
small businesses are appearing and new public buildings
like the Dinnington Resource Centre on Laughton
Road are being built. Hence the emergence of the
new Dinnington Town Football Club being formed in
2000/2001.We have three teams, the 1st team competes
in the Supreme Division of the Central Midlands
League the Reserves in the County Senior League
and an Under 18s team. With time other youth teams
will be formed. The first two seasons the club played
at a ground near Meadowhall Sheffield in the Central
Midlands League as the Dinnington Ground did not
meet the Leagues criteria. Amazingly the Club gained
promotion to the Supreme Division as the facilities
at the Resource Centre became available. The first
stage of work to the changing rooms, player's dugouts
and covered standing is near completion, erecting
floodlights is our next aim. |
