Hemsworth Miners Welfare Football Club is a football club based in Hemsworth, West Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League Premier Division and play at the Just Football MDC Stadium in Fitzwilliam.
History
The club was established in 1981 after Hemsworth Colliery folded the year before. The new club joined Division Three of the Doncaster & District Senior League. A third-place finish in 1985–86 saw the club promoted to Division Two, and another third-place finish the following season resulted in a second successive promotion to Division One. In 1987–88 they were Division One runners-up, securing a third straight promotion and entry to the Premier Division.
Hemsworth won the Premier Division Cup in 1994–95, after which they joined the West Riding County League. In 1996–97 they won the Division title and the Division One Cup and were promoted to the Premier Division. The following year they won the Premier Division Cup, a feat repeated in 2001–02. In 2007–08 a fourth-place finish in the Premier Division was enough to earn promotion to Division One of the Northern Counties East League. They were Division One champions in 2015–16, earning promotion to the Premier Division. At the end of the 2022–23 season the club were demoted to the Premier Division of the Sheffield & Hallamshire League after failing ground grading requirements.
