Yorkshire Main Football Club began in
the 1920's as Edlington Rangers and continued in that name until 1979.
It was then renamed as Yorkshire Main Colliery Football Club until the
pit closure, when it became Yorkshire Main F.C. in 1986.
The early eighties were very rewarding as they became Doncaster Senior
League Division 3 Champions in the 1980/81 league season. The following
year saw them move to the Sheffield County Senior League Division2 which
they won and also the Doncaster Senior League Cup. The 1982/83 season
proved to be even better as they won the County Senior League Division1
Championship and also the County Senior League Cup. In 1983/84 Yorkshire
Main decided to join the Northern Counties East Football League but
success continued. They won the NCB National League 7 a side championship.
From the end of that season the success faded away bu, Yorkshire Main
still managed to run two sides. One continued in the Northern Counties
East and the other in the Doncaster Senior League. Due to lack of resources
the first team dropped out of the N.C.E. league in 1991 and joined the
Whitbread County Senior League. In the 1995/96 season Yorkshire Main
got back to winning ways as the second team lifted the Doncaster Senior
League Division 2 Championship.
With ambitious players and coaching staff at the club it was decided
to try and get back to being successful, so Yorkshire Main joined the
Central Midlands League in 1998/99 season.
