History

Barwell were formed at the start of the 1992–93 season as the result of a merger between Hinckley Football Club of the Midland Football Combination and Barwell Athletic Football Club, who had previously played in the Leicestershire Senior League.^[1][2]

The new club initially played in the Midland Football Combination before becoming a founder member of the Midland Football Alliance in 1994.^[3] In 2006 Barwell won the Midland Football Alliance League Cup beating Leamington 3–1. 2010 saw them promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One South as champions of the Midland Football Alliance. During this season they went undefeated, winning 36 and drawing 6 of their 42 league games. They eventually made it to 62 undefeated league games before a defeat. They followed this by winning the 2010–11 Division One South and gaining promotion, following which they were transferred to the Southern League Premier Division.

Ground

The Kirkby Road sports complex also incorporates bowling facilities and a cricket pitch, which was once used for first class matches. Floodlights were installed prior to the 1992/93 season, and a number of seats were obtained from the old main stand at Leicester City's ground. A new covered stand to accommodate five hundred spectators was built prior to the 1996/97 season. Towards the end of the 2000/01 season a new 256 seater cantilever stand was erected, and the club have made further improvements to allow them to move up to Step 4 of the National League System.
