Ollerton has a long history of local football going back to the late
1800's. It's best period was probably immediately pre World War 2 when
Ollerton Colliery won the Notts Senior Cup in 1937/38 and it's reserve
team won the Intermediate Cup in 1936/37.
Ollerton Colliery ceased to function in the 1980's and was reformed
in 1988 as Ollerton Bevercotes Miners Welfare FC and entered the Mansfield
bitter League. The club entered the Notts football Alliance in 1991
and were Division 2 Champions in season 1992/93.
Following the closure of Ollerton Colliery in 1994, a decision was
taken to rename the team Ollerton Town, but it remains a section of
Ollerton Bevercotes Miners Welfare. It represnts the whole community
of Ollerton however, just as its predecessors Ollerton Colliery did.
In season 1995/96 Ollerton Town won the Notts Alliance First Division
and in 1999/2000 were runners up in the Senior Division. 2000/01 saw
Ollerton enter the Central Midlands League and the National Pyramid
of Football.
2002/03 was the best performance in the CMFL since we entered, finishing
in 6th place and a long lean spell without a win from 9th November to
25th January undoubtedly cost the club its promotion. Last season we
finished in 8th position.
