Handsworth Parramore Football Club is a football club based in Handsworth, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Northern Counties East League Premier Division and play at Sandy Lane in Worksop.

History

The club was established in 2014 as the result of a merger between Handsworth and Worksop Parramore; work on the merger had begun in 2013 and was finalised the following year.[2] The new club took Worksop Parramore's place in the Premier Division of the Northern Counties East League. In their first season the club won the League Cup, beating Cleethorpes Town 4–3 in the final, coming back from 3–1 down with six minutes remaining.[3]

Season-by-season record

Grounds

The club currently owns two grounds – Sandy Lane in Worksop and Olivers Mount in Handsworth. Sandy Lane was built in 1992 as a new home for Worksop Town, but the club was evicted from the ground in 2008. Parramore Sports subsequently bought it, with ownership transferring to Handsworth Parramore after the merger in 2014. The ground currently hosts first team matches in the Northern Counties East League, and is also rented to former owners Worksop Town.

Olivers Mount was the home ground of Handsworth, but it failed a ground grading test in 2012 which resulted in the club being relegated from the Northern Counties East League. The ground currently hosts the clubs' reserve matches in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League, as well as youth team games.
