Kiveton Park F.C.
Kiveton Park Football Club is a football club based in Kiveton Park, South Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League Premier Division and play their home games at Hard Lane.
Although a team representing the village played two games with a side from Anston during the 1877–78 season, Kiveton Park FC was not formed until 1881. Two years later, the club affiliated with the Sheffield Football Association. Its first club colours were believed to be red and black quarters.
In 1891–92 they were founder members of the Sheffield & District Football League (being Chesterfield F.C.'s first ever league opponents on the first day of that season) and lifted their first trophy after beating Sheepbridge in the final of the Sheffield Minor Cup.
For 1893–94 the Minor Cup changed from a knockout competition to a league, and Kiveton moved to join, also entering the Hatchard League at the same time. They were the first winners of the latter in 1894 and repeated the success two years later, remaining in the competition until the outbreak of the First World War.
Kiveton spent the majority of the time between the two world wars in the Sheffield Amateur League, with the exception of brief spells in the Sheffield Association League and the Holbrook & District League. They made their FA Cup debut in 1920, and reached the 3rd qualifying round of the competition two years later, losing to Rotherham Town at Clifton Lane. In 1923, the club was renamed as Kiveton Park Colliery, reflecting its close ties with the village pit.
The club, like most others in the country, did initially break up when the Second World War broke out, but in 1942 they joined the Worksop & District League, remaining in this competition until the end of the war. The 1945–46 season saw the club come close to winning two prestigious competitions – going out in the semi-finals of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup and finishing as runners-up in the Sheffield Invitation League play-offs, after beating Sheffield United reserves in the semi-final at Hard Lane.
They spent the first four post-war years in the Sheffield Association League, before joining the Yorkshire League in 1949. After suffering two disastrous campaigns at this higher level, they moved back to the Worksop & District League, where they were renamed as Kiveton Park United. They stayed in Worksop football until 1959, when they moved to the East Derbyshire League, and before long they were finding great success - in the 1961–62 season they won seven trophies. In 1963 the club successfully applied to re-join the Yorkshire League, and was accepted by the name of Kiveton Park.
In 1967 they won promotion to Division One and two years later finished in third place – the club's highest ever league finish. A year later however they were relegated back to Division Two. In 1972 they completed a league and cup double, winning the prestigious Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup for the first time, and gaining promotion back to the Yorkshire League's top flight. Their yo-yo existence would continue however – up to 1982 they flitted constantly between Division One and Two, winning the Division Two title in 1978.
