Dearne & District FC are based in Goldthorpe, a small town in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley. It was anciently a small medieval farming village and recorded in the Domesday Book as a part of the Manor of Bolton upon Dearne.(population: over 6,000)

The club was founded in 1982 as a youth team with an adult side formed in 2018, joining Division One of the Doncaster Senior League.

The club originally played at Dearne Valley College, before moving to the Kingsmark ground in Goldthorpe. After being refused planning permission for floodlights they moved to the Welfare Ground in 2023.

The ground has a covered seated stand and an enclosure, each side of the dugouts. There's another covered seated stand behind the far goal, next to the changing rooms.

After falling 2-1 behind early in the second half, Dearne bossed the game once they equalised to finish the regular season with a convincing win. An impressive 4th place finish in their debut NCEL season means they’ll face third place Wakefield AFC next week in the play-offs.
