Exciting non-league football action can be seen at the Brewery Field, the home of Spennymoor Town FC.

Today’s club was born in 2005, following the demise of both Spennymoor United AFC and Evenwood Town FC. However, the club itself dates back to 1904, as the result of efforts of councillor and businessman Thomas Grant, who negotiated use of the Brewery Field, used previously by Tudhoe Rugby Club.

The Club were Northern League Division 1 champions in 2009-2010. For more information visit the Spennymoor Town FC website.
