History - History 1
After a long history of football at Carnarvon Street supporting the local pit side dating back to 1918, under the name of Teversal Miners Welfare with an history of playing good football in a high level including the FA Cup. However, the football side of the complex became run down and it was only down to the hard work of Sam Slack in the 1970 and 1980s that football continued, under the banner of youth football.
Senior football formed again in 1986 under the name of M.W. Teversal. The closure of Teversal Colliery, then the closure of the Miners Welfare in 1989 followed by the closure of Silverhill Colliery saw a steady decline. Which lead to a period of uncertainty, but Ashfield District Council took over the Trusteeship of the complex in 1989, with the name changing to the Teversal Grange Sports and Social Centre, hence the name change to Teversal Grange F.C. The name was changed again at the start of the 2000-2001 season to the current name, due to the incorrect association to the adjacent Country Inn restaurant.
From the uncertain times, which saw the club running just one Senior team, the club's strength has grown to have two Senior teams, an Under 19s and a six Youth teams for the current season. A return to national competitions is a mark of how the club as developed, F.A. Vase 2003-04 season, F.A. Youth Cup 2004-05 season and the big one the F.A. Cup 2005-06 which was gained after winning promotion to the Northern Counties East League from the Central Midlands League. However the Football Association changed the entry criteria for the 2009-10 season for the FA Cup and unfortunately this meant exclusion from the competition for a number of step 6 clubs which fortunately didn't included the Tevie Boys for the current season.
Honours wise in the short term history, the club has gained promotion through the National System without winning a league, and the most recent success was a runners up spot in the 2007-2008 season Northern Counties East League Wilkinson Sword Trophy, which goes with our runners up berth to Hucknall Town of the Unibond Premier League in the Notts Senior Cup Final at Meadow Lane, losing 2-0 in April 2003, marking the 2002-03 season as being one of the best seasons in the clubs history.
But the story continues and the aims of the club remain the same, and its hoped to reward these efforts with some senior silverware, along with the continued success with the clubs Youth Section which continues to feed the senior set up with the quality that will hopefully reap its benefits.
The aims of the club are;
SENIORS;To establish a successful playing team, by continuing to develop the skills and knowledge of the players to allow progression up the football pyramid.
To identify the requirements on and off the pitch to progress up the National League Structure.
COLTS;Our aim is to develop the individual players of the local community in areas of technical ability and understanding of the laws of association football, whilst developing all areas of their social skills.
The ultimate aim is to see all of the players progressing into professional football, if they don't reach those heights, then they stay with Teversal Football Club.
We want to be the best in the area for football excellence.
