We are delighted to announce that we have today received confirmation and approval for the merger of Handsworth FC and Parramore FC from the FA.

We have been working closely with the FA the Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA and individual leagues over the past 9 months to ensure that our vision of
one club under the name of HANDSWORTH PARRAMORE F.C. becomes a reality.

With approval secured we can confirm that HPFC will be placed in step 5 of the national league system in the NCEL Premier division for the 2014-15 season.

We would like to place on record our thanks to all parties concerned for their diligence during this process.

In a climate where a number of clubs are in decline today’s approval means HPFC can now look forward to an exciting future, the merger reinforces the clubs ambition to become Sheffield’s third club, behind the 2 professional clubs, a true community club that has been built on the amazing community ethos we hold. The Amber Family is the envy of many and something that we as a club are proud of.

Our vision is a simple one... to become the club of choice for every aspiring young player and to continue to reward our community with great football... in their back yard.... at their club with the best possible facilities.

We will now be developing plans to further enhance our presence and facilities in our community, the youth section for girls and boys up to U18’s will be totally unaffected by today’s merger, in fact enhanced by the proposed introduction of the first ever Grassroots academy and alignment to HPFC.

As the 2013-14 season draws to a close the club has surpassed all expectations on the field with a record number of achievements secured throughout our structure from U7’s through to senior level, boys, girls, Ladies, men and (OLD) men. Over 12 titles are on the cards from within the Club- 29 teams #oneclub.

Only last night 2 more league titles were secured Handsworth FC were crowned Pete’s Patisserie County Senior League Champions and our U10 boy’s were crowned ‘A’ Division champions with Parramore FC once again THE number one local club in the NCEL.

Full details of our structure will soon be published, we will also be sharing very soon our plans to enhance our presence and commitment to Grassroots football in Sheffield.
