History

edit

Little is known of the formation of the club – they first came to prominence when entering the FA Cup in 1906. They have entered the FA Cup on a total of 10 occasions. They entered the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League (S&HCSL) in 1996, and by 1998 they had won two successive promotions to reach the S&HCSL's Premier Division.

In their first Premier Division campaign they claimed the league championship – an achievement they would repeat on a further three occasions. They have also won the S&HCSL's League Cup three times, the first two in 2002 and 2008 giving the club a league and cup double.

The Main suffered a turbulent time during the mid-2010s, culminating in relegation to Division One of the County Senior League, though promotion was gained at the first attempt.
