History:
Spennymoor Town FC was formed in 2005 out of the collapse of UniBond Premier
Division club Spennymoor United and a merger with Northern League club
Evenwood Town FC. The club was originally formed in 1904, United went
on to be six times Northern League champions, four times winners of the
old North Eastern League, and 16 times winners of the Durham Challenge
Cup. Their FA Cup record includes a third round performance against West
Bromwich Albion in front of a 23,000 crowd in 1937. The club's hopes in
the Unibond League were shattered by an arson attack on Christmas Day
2003, leaving the club with no income and by 2005 the club could not fulfil
its fixtures and was removed from the league, with the club folding. Evenwood
Town moved to the Brewery Field and took the name Spennymoor Town FC,
playing in United’s black and white stripes. The club was reborn under
the name of Spennymoor Town after the merger with Evenwood Town who also
folded that year. Moors won the Northern League over
three successive seasons, and were in an epic fight with Darlington for the title in
2012/13, which included a memorable midweek victory here for the Quakers and a play-off defeat. The same season, despite finishing runners-up, there was the consolation of a FA Vase win. But they have since sealed two promotions themselves to join Darlo in Conference North and ensure a local derby. After losing in the play-off final the previous season, Moors had to settle for a mid-table finish. Graeme Lee has guided them to 9th place in the league in successive seasons.
