History
Calverton Miners Welfare was formed shortly after the end of the Second World War and after playing a few friendly matches they joined division two of the Nottingham Spartan League at the start of the 1947–48 season. Six years later the club joined the Nottingham & District League and then the Nottinghamshire Senior League before transferring to the Central Alliance for the 1964–65 season. However, after just one season the club decided to move to the Nottinghamshire Combination League and remained there until 1988. In 1997 the club returned to the Nottinghamshire Football Alliance and gained promotion from Division 2 at their third attempt and by the 2002–03 season they were in that league's top division.[1] Two seasons later the club became founder members of the Nottinghamshire Senior League and following ground improvements the club joined the Central Midlands League in 2006 and that season competed in the FA Vase. Two seasons later the club was promoted to the Supreme Division[2] and when the league was re-organised in 2011 they were placed in the South Division. In 2025 Calverton Miners' Welfare F.C. merged with Rushcliffe F.C. to form Calverton F.C. A brand new 4G facility was built in the summer of 2025 and named the Mary Earps Pitch after the England womens Goalkeeper. The club runs youth teams from under 8's right up to under 18's alongside the Mens senior section which includes Firsts, Reserves , Under 23's and Veterans. There is a growing Girls section including an adult ladies team. There are also several inclusivity teams for juniors and adults.
The club nickname is The Miners. Record win = 12-0 vs Nottinghamshire 2 February 2013, Record defeat = 14-0 vs AJ Sport 29 October 2022 , 14-0 vs Stapleford Town reserves 26 March 2022
