New youth teams were set up and the club went from strength to strength. This team went on to be very successful over the year and the club was built around it. The initial team was created out of the primary school in the village for players at Under 8, who entered the Young Elizabethan League. The next addition will be floodlights.Īslockton & Orston Football Club was formed in 2000 with the old name of Aslockton Cranmers FC. Building work starts just before the beginning of the 2017/18 season. Over the last 12 months the committee have worked hard to secure funding for much needed new changing facilities at The Avenue. With the backing of sports brand X Blades and other local business, we are set fair to give Bentley an excellent community club. We managed our best finish last year of 3rd place in CMFL North which was a good season for the club. This year we have another new crop coming through. Many of whom leave us for higher level football but the strategy tends to serve the club well. They will be continuing our philosophy of past seasons, bringing through our own home grown players. The 1st team management consists of Manager – Kenny Taylor, Assistant – Dave Vann and Coach Ian Dowe. AFC Bentley has grown and this season we will be running 16 teams at all levels, from U7s to Over 35s. AFC Bentley is a community club, that encompasses the old Broddy set up, some of the old Bentley Colliery committee and a whole new junior section. We were welcomed straight away by the Bentley trustees, so much so that we finished 2015/16 season at The Avenue. Sadly, but fortunate for us, Bentley Colliery were having difficulties at The Avenue.

Despite protestations from local councillors, local people and an intervention from CMFL Chairman Eddie Pearce, the welfare trustees were adamant they wanted us off and no mediation was going to prevent that.

We were evicted from Brodsworth Welfare football ground at the turn of 2016. IF YOUR CLUB HISTORY ISN’T HERE THEN SEND IT TO IMMEDIATELY PLEASEĪFC Bentley is a relatively new club formed from the Players, Committee and Supporters of Brodsworth Welfare AFC.
