Bardon Hill Football Club is a football club based in Bardon, near Coalville, Leicestershire, England. They play at Bardon Close.

History[edit]

The club was established in the 1890s as St Peters Church.[1] They were later named Bardon Hill Granite and then Bardon Hill Sports.[1] After playing in local leagues around Coalville, the club moved up to the Leicester & District League and the North Leicestershire League.[1] In 1994 they joined Division One of the Leicestershire Senior League.[2] After finishing as Division One runners-up in 2005–06 the club were promoted to the Premier Division.

In 2008 Bardon Hill Sports were founder members of the East Midlands Counties League.[2] They were renamed Bardon Hill in 2010.[2] The club won both the Leicestershire and Rutland Senior Cup and the East Midlands Counties League in 2014–15,[1] earning promotion to the Premier Division of the Midland League. However, their first season in the Midland League ended in relegation to the Premier Division of the Leicestershire Senior League.[3]

Despite finishing as runners-up in the Premier Division in 2017–18, Bardon Hill withdrew from the league at the end of the season due to a lack of personnel to run the club.[4] The club continued to run its youth section.

Ground[edit]

The club moved to Bardon Close in 1990 as their previous ground behind the church was required for the expansion of a quarry.[1]
