They are currently members of the Northern Counties East League Division One and play at the Chesterfield Poultry Stadium.

Little is known of the formation of the club, but Thorne first came to the limelight in 1927, then they reached the 3rd qualifying round of the FA Cup in their debut campaign in the competition.

Their stay in Division One would only last another year before being relegated again, but their yo-yo status continued when they were promoted back again in 1956.

They only remained in the NCEL for five years before resigning and joining the Doncaster & District Senior League.

The following season they again finished third but won silverware by securing their first trophy since 1993 by beating Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves in the Central Midlands Floodlit Cup.
