>We have been supporting the kids of little lever sports club. Below is a little bit about how the club started.
The Club was founded in 1930 as "Old Farnworthians AFC", an offshoot of the Old Farnworthians Association, the ex-pupils organization of Farnworth Grammar School now sadly no longer in existence.
The Lancashire Amateur League were, at the time, attempting to form a new Northern Section and recruited a number of teams from old boys associations in the Bolton area. The club soon found success and won the Championship of the newly formed Northern Section in Season 1933-34.
For the first 24 years of its existence, Old Farnworthians AFC was a "closed" club with membership only available to ex-pupils of the school. It is not clear whether the club was having difficulty in attracting enough players or whether it was a sign of increasing ambition but the club opened its doors to all players in 1954.
The 1933-34 triumph apart, success continued to elude the club in those early years. Equally elusive was a regular home. Records show that the club played at many grounds including Peel Park, Little Hulton, Harper Green and Doe Hey.
