History

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.

At it's 31st May 2024 AGM the club announced that it's launching two senior teams for the 2024/25 season including players from current U17's and U18's teams. At the same time the club name reverted to Bardon Hill FC, representing both Junior and Adult teams as one club for the first time.

Ground

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