Click image to open!

Rothbury Football Club was founded in 1876, and as such is one of the oldest clubs in Northumberland. The football pitch at Armstrong Park, gifted to the club by Armstrong Estate in1984, was originally opened in 1949.

Maintained by local volunteers, it is generally accepted as being among the finest in the county. The original wooden clubhouse was greatly prized until decay and woodworm set in and new premises were required to house the increasing number of players. In 1979 local supporters with a variety of building skills cooperated to build a new clubhouse: an excellent example of community action.

There are two teams, Rothbury F.C. and Rothbury Reserves, one playing in each of the two divisions of the North Northumberland League. Both teams play at Armstrong Park, which is situated on the left as you enter the village on the B6345 from Morpeth.

This sheltered football pitch means that a pleasant Saturday afternoon can be spent watching home games. Locals and visitors alike are always welcome.

Over the years the teams have had a fair degree of success:

1st Division Champions
1975,1977, 1988

2nd Division Champions

Tate Cup Winners
1969

Sanderson Cup Winners
