AFC Dunkirk
Aslockton & Orston FC
Aslockton & Orston Football Club was formed in 2000 with the old name of Aslockton Cranmers FC. The initial team was created out of the primary school in the village for players at Under 8, who entered the Young Elizabethan League. This team went on to be very successful over the year and the club was built around it. New youth teams were set up and the club went from strength to strength. Since the beginning the club has had various adult teams, of both Saturday and Sunday football, but unfortunately none of them lasted. However, prior to the 2016/17 season, chairman of 10 years, Martin Hallam, formed the new senior side which plays in the Central Midlands League. Martin joined the club in 2001 as a team manager and secretary. His eldest, James, joined the club at the same time as an U10 player and now captain’s the First Team, as well as taking on the roles of club treasurer and managing fundraising and projects.
Several players returned to the club who had played in the past as a youth player, including his two sons. The side played in the Notts Senior League Division 2 for the 2016/17 season, finishing fourth. This was an excellent achievement for a very young side in their first season together, especially with many players in their first year of senior football. The team had an excellent season in the cup also, as they went on to win the Nottinghamshire FA Saturday Minor Cup. The squad that year contained 17 players who had previously played for the club at a youth level. That shows the attraction of the club, and the gaffer.
Before the 2017/18 season the club changed its name to Aslockton & Orston FC. This was due to the huge amount of support received from the village of Orston and because the home ground is in Orston also. The club has had an ongoing project for several years to build a new pavilion which could be a community facility for many uses. Thanks to funding and support received the club has finally been able to complete the project and the new pavilion can now be used. This will benefit the club greatly in both the senior and junior sections, as well as the local community who are able to use the facility.
The club was accepted in to the Central Midlands South Division for the 2017/18 season, which was a huge achievement and certainly deserved thanks to the work of those involved in the club over the years. For the 2018/19 season the FA made the decision to move the team into the Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division which is also a Step 7 league. This means less travelling and the committee are looking forward to playing in the NSL once again.

Attenborough FC
Awsworth Villa FC
There has been a football club in the village of Awsworth since 1935 when Awsworth and Cossall United was formed. Awsworth Villa was formed in 1963 as a youth side, under the guidance of Dennis Slaney. The Slaney name has been linked with the club ever since, and it's Dennis’ son Malcolm who is our Honorary Life President, having filled every role in the football club at some point since playing his first match in our debut season as a senior side.
The senior side began in the Spartan League before joining the Notts Alliance. Awsworth Villa then joined the Nottinghamshire Senior League on its formation in 2004.
The club play at The Shilo recreation ground. The ground is owned by the local parish council after it was donated by the National Coal Board in 1985.
Recently, the club has gained some unparalleled success. Firstly, the reserves side won the Nottinghamshire FA Junior Cup in 2011. In 2016, the first team went on to win the NSL Senior Cup against Real United.

Bilborough Town FC
Bingham Town FC
Bingham Town has had a team since the 1950s, later followed a Sunday side which ran for many years under the management of David Ingham.
The current Saturday side was created in 2010 by Andy Shipstone as a team for the outgoing U18s from the youth section to continue to play. The then Sunday side disbanded with players joining the Saturday side. Bingham Town were accepted to the Nottinghamshire Senior League Division Two four years ago after two seasons in the NAA.
Under Andy Shipstone, Bingham maintained a reasonable standard when, two season ago Chris North (ex Harrowby United and Stamford FC) and Mike Spencer (ex Grantham Town and team mate of Chris at Harrowby and Stamford) took over as managers, with the help of Jason Baxter and Mark Boyes (who have both experience at a high level).
Bingham, in successive seasons won promotion from Second to the Premier Division and the Reserves joined the NSL from the NAA. In 2016 the team was taken over by Carl Smith with the assistance of David Ingham; Mark Boyes, with Andy Hallam and Chris Dawn taking charge of the Reserves. Dave Ingham then took over the team in January 2017 when Carl stepped down due to work commitments.
For season 2017-2018 Chris Dawn stepped in as First team Manager assisted Dave Ingham and the return of Carl Smith and Mike Spencer in control of the Reserves.

FC Cavaliers
FC Cavaliers was formed in May 1978 in the Meadows area of Nottingham under the name Queens Walk FC, by Karl White, Vince Edwards, Bernard Liburd & Ronnie Brown. They put £10 each to buy the shirts and the players brought shorts & socks. Karl ran the club from its formation and was the club’s manager for many years until Everton Richards came on board.
A few name changes followed before the current name of FC Cavaliers. At that time, the team was made up of mainly Black British from the Meadows area. Things are very different now as FC Cavaliers are the most multi-cultural club in the NSL with members coming from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds.
The team’s home ground was the Victoria Embankment in the Meadows. The club moved to Alford Road in West Bridgford for one season. Cavaliers also played at the Wilford Sports Complex but had to move after it was sold to Nottingham Forest. They moved to the Old Police Sports Ground in Carrington in 1998.
The team competed in a number of local leagues including the Nottingham Spartan League. After the Spartan League folded, the team joined the Midland Amateur Alliance. After a few years of stability in the M.A.A., the club began to gain some success. Cavaliers finished mid table one year but was relegated form M.A.A. Senior Division to Division 1. The club bounced straight back the following season finishing as runners up to Nottingham Irish Club. Cavs won their first trophy in the M.A.A. after beating Woodborough Utd 3-1 in the M.A.A. Senior Cup at Dunkirk’s Lenton Lane ground.
After coming very close the following season after winning the M.A.A. Senior Cup, Cavaliers went on to claim the M.A.A. Senior Division title four seasons on the trot, including a league and cup double in 2004/5. Cav’s equalled the record for the number of Senior Division titles straight and would have beaten the record had they not been accepted into the NSL in the 2005/06 season.
Everton Richards managed the first team for 15 years until Barry Campbell was brought on board. After a spell of bad results, the team began putting in some consistent performances winning 15, losing one and drawing one in their last 17 matches of that season resulting in Cavaliers finishing runners up in the NSL.

Magdala Amateurs FC
Sandiacre Town FC
Sandiacre Town Football Club was formed in 1978 by Malc Turton and Pete Smith. They had previously run the successful Ilkeston Town Under 14's, but being local men they saw the need for youth football in Sandiacre - and so the story began...
At the very first practice night over 150 youngsters turned up and it was decided to run three teams in the Notts Youth League at under 16's, 14's & 12's.
Season 1979/80 saw the number of youth teams grow to five with a Saturday senior side also being established and joining the Central Alliance League as one of the founding members.
In 1982 work started on building the Club Headquarters at St. Giles Park, the cost of the project was £40,000 with half the money being raised by Club members. The building work was carried out with the help of the Manpower Services Commission and was completed in 1984. The official opening on March 28th 1984 was performed by Peter Taylor and Roy McFarland from Derby County Football Club.
Over the years many improvements have been carried out to the ground and facilities. These include posts and rails around the pitch perimeter, pitch shelters, new changing accommodation for match officials, enclosing the ground with a 2 meter fence and a covered area for 250 spectators. In 1995 floodlights were installed.
Sandiacre Town are very proud of their links with other clubs, in the early eighties exchange visits took place with the Hurlford Boy's club of Kilmarnock. Then in 1984, the Club started an association with Sparta '25 of Holland which still exists today. Exchange visits take place in alternate years involving four of the youth teams – u12’s – u15’s.
In 2017 over the Easter break, Sandiacre visited Sparta, with our boys being housed by hosting families during the course of their visit. This is a special trip for all involved and included a football tournament on Sparta’s home pitch, and a visit to PSV Eindhoven, amongst other social events. At the end of this season, we welcome our friends from Sparta to Sandiacre, with more fun activities planned and a chance for everyone to experience the club refurbishments that have been put in place over the summer.
A newly decorated bar & club room, meeting room, kitchen, changing rooms & showers, toilets & outdoor seating area have all been installed – bringing the facilities in line with where the club want to be in years to come, both on and off the pitch.
