Prior to this the Adders had gained national recognition by reaching the semi-final of the FA Amateur Cup in both 1907 and 1909. After several decades of varying performance, the 1947-48 season saw the Adders claim the Birmingham Combination League and Cup double. In 1954 they stepped up to the Birmingham and District League (later renamed the West Midlands (Regional) League), where they were runners-up in 1972 and moved up to the Southern League. In their first season they gained promotion to the Premier Division, where their best position was third in 1973-74, but the club was forced into liquidation in the summer of 1979. A group of local enthusiasts managed to fulfil the teams’ reserve fixtures in the West Midlands League under the name Atherstone United and then decided to continue under that name as a new club. In 1982 the new club won promotion to the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division, followed in 1986–87 by winning the Premier Division title and promotion to the Southern League Midland Division. Two years later they were promoted again, to the Southern League Premier Division, where they finished as high as 4th. However, the end of the 1999–00 season saw Atherstone relegated for the first time in either incarnation. The situation at the club worsened and in September 2003 Atherstone United were put into liquidation. Again a group of supporters formed a new Atherstone Town club. In their debut season the new Atherstone Town were accepted into the Midland Combination Division One, winning the league and promotion at the first attempt along with the President's Cup. In the 2005–06 season, they were the champions of the Midland Combination Premier Division and thus stepped up to the Midland Football Alliance. Further success in 2005–06 came in the Birmingham County FA Midweek Floodlit Cup and the Midland Combination Endsleigh Challenge Cup. In the 2007–08 season, the club won promotion again as champions of the Midland Football Alliance, the club's third promotion in four seasons. The first season in the Southern League Midland Division saw the Adders in the top three for most of the season. At the end they finished third behind champions Leamington and near neighbours Nuneaton Town. They made the play-offs, only to lose to Chasetown. They did however win the GX Southern League Cup for the first time after beating Bridgwater Town in the two legged final. P a g e | 4 /@Burbagenkf @NkfBurbage Due to financial problems, the club had to resign from the Southern League mid-way during the 2010–11 season. In 2011–12 they played in the Midland Football Alliance but were relegated at the end of the season to the Midland Combination Premier Division. Ivor Green took the Managers job for season 2013/14 and led the club to the 3rd Qualifying Round of the F.A. Cup, losing 4-0 to Barrow at Sheepy Road. Also that season they reached the final of The Les James Challenge Cup at The Bescot Stadium, losing out 2-1 to Stafford Town. Green resigned in October of the following season to be replaced by a management team consisting of ex-players Leigh Everitt, Malc Randle and Rich Williams who led the club to 13th place in MFL Division 1. 2015/16 saw Ivor Green return to the Managers seat and Justin Palmer take over as Chairman of the club, after a season of rebuilding and another 13th place finish. 2016/17 saw an upturn in fortune for the club and a successful season saw the Adders qualify for the F.A.Cup after a two year absence, with a 4th placed finish behind runaway champions Bromsgrove Sporting. The 2017/18 season saw Adders pick up their first pieces of silverware for ten years when the won the BCFA Midweek Floodlit Cup, beating Racing Warwick 1-0 in the final and The J.W.Hunt Cup with a1-0 win over Wolverhampton Sporting. A third place finish in the league rounded off a great season for Ivor Greens’ side. In the 2018/19 season the Adders became the first team in the history of the BCFA Midweek Floodlit Cup to retain the trophy, beating WMRL Champions Tividale 4-2 on penalties after a 3-3 draw at Sutton Coldfield FC. However they missed out on promotion again finishing third behind Heather St Johns and Racing Club Warwick. P a g e | 5 /@Burbagenkf @NkfBurbage Midland Football League Round-Up 29/1/20 Division 1 The battle to finish in the top four intensified with five of the top seven registering victories. The only two of the leading pack not to win played each other at Leicester Road with the home side coming from behind to draw 1-1 with 4th placed Lichfield City. 2nd place Brocton ruined Ashby Ivanhoe’s return home after three months by winning 3-1. 3rd placed Studley gained quick revenge after a midweek defeat at NKF Burbage by turning the tables with a 3-0 win at The Beehive. A double from OIi Ritchie helped 5th place Uttoxeter Town to a 3-1 win over Cadbury Athletic at Oldfields. Result of the day saw 6th placed Atherstone Town win 6-1 at Rocester. Ryan Quinn scored three and Alex Naughton two in a game that was far closer than the scoreline suggests. A last minute goal from Ben Kendrick earned Hinckley AFC all three points in a 1-0 win over neighbours Nuneaton Griff. Jason Holmes scored on the stroke of half-time for Heath Hayes as they beat Chelmsley Town 1-0. It was a similar scoreline at Sphinx Drive with Jason Evans scoring the only goal of the game for GNP Sports against Stapenhill and a last minute goal from Morgan Bailey earned bottom club Stafford Town a 1-1 draw at Coventry Copsewood. Paget Rangers and Kirby Muxloe battled out a goalless draw at Coles Lane, a result which does neither any favours in the battle at the foot of the table. Brocton closed the gap at the to just 6 points with a 4-2 win at NKF Burbage, leading scorer Regan Smith with a brace. Uttoxeter Town moved into the top four with a fine 3-0 win over Heath Hayes at Oldfields, Dan Harper scoring twice. Lichfield City slip to 5th as they were beaten 2-1 at Rocester. Madundo Semahimbo scored twice for Coventry Copsewood in their 3-2 win over Hinckley AFC at Allards Way.
