History
editThe club was established in 1992 as an under-12 team by Thorpe School caretaker Ray Branch, before turning to adult football in 1998 when the team could no longer play youth football.[1][2] They joined the Peterborough & District League in 1998.[3] They were members of Division Six in 2000–01, but moved up to Division Five when Division Six was disbanded at the end of the season.[4] They were Division Five runners-up in 2001–02, earning promotion to Division Four.[4] A third successive promotion was achieved following a third-place finish in Division Four the following season,[4] and was followed by a fourth promotion when the club finished fourth in Division Three in 2003–04.[4]
When the league was reduced to three first team divisions at the end of the 2004–05 season, Netherton were placed in Division One, a fifth successive promotion.[4] The club were promoted to the Premier Division at the end of the 2009–10 season.[1] In 2012–13 they were Premier Division runners-up, a feat repeated the following season, when they also won the Presidents Premier Shield.[5] In 2014–15 the club won the league's Jack Hogg Charity Shield.[6] They entered the FA Vase for the first time in the 2017–18 season, in which they went on to win the Premier Division title, the President's Shield and the Peterborough Senior Cup.[7]
