Our Club
Welcome to Staveley Miners Welfare FC — proudly known as The Trojans.
A Proud History
Football in Staveley stretches back well over a century, including a famous FA Cup victory in 1883. The modern club was founded as Nag’s Head FC in 1962, starting life as a Sunday side before establishing Saturday football at Inkersall Road in 1989.
Back-to-back Sheffield County Senior League titles between 1991 and 1993 earned a move to the Central Midlands League, and by 1997 the club had reached the Northern Counties East Premier Division.
A Community Club
Everything changed in 2007 when Terry Damms became Chairman, introducing a community-focused strategy and welcoming Handley Wood Juniors into the club. The NCEL Division One title followed in 2010/11, alongside a historic run to the FA Vase semi-final in 2011/12.
In 2015, the club officially adopted ‘The Trojans’ as its nickname. Today, our focus remains exactly where it belongs — on family-friendly facilities and genuine community engagement at the heart of Staveley.
