History

The club was formed as Handsworth Parramore in 2014 as the result of a merger between Handsworth and Worksop Parramore; work on the merger had begun in 2013 and was finalised the following year.[1] The new club took Worksop Parramore's place in the Premier Division of the Northern Counties East League. In their first season the club won the League Cup, beating Cleethorpes Town 4–3 in the final, coming back from 3–1 down with six minutes remaining.[2]

In June 2019, the club was renamed Handsworth.[3]

Season-by-season record

Grounds

Olivers Mount was the home ground of the original Handsworth, but it failed a ground grading test in 2012 which resulted in the club being relegated from the Northern Counties East League. Parramore Sports played at Sandy Lane in Worksop, which they bought after Worksop Town were evicted in 2008. After the merger in 2014, the club's first team played at Sandy Lane (which Worksop Town had returned to as tenants), while reserve and youth team games were played at Olivers Mount. The first team moved to Olivers Mount in 2020.[4]
