Matlock Town F.C.

[6] After World War II the club played in the Chesterfield & District League for the 1946–47 season,[7] before the Central Alliance was re-established in 1947, with Matlock becoming members again.They went on to beat eventual Third Division champions Mansfield Town in an incredible 5–2 away from home, marking the first time the club had defeated Football League opposition.[9] The club won the Northern Premier League's Challenge Cup and the Peter Swales Shield in 1977–78.A fifth-place finish in the Premier Division in 2007–08 led to the club qualifying for the promotion playoffs, in which they lost 4–2 to Witton Albion in the semi-finals.[10] Floodlights were erected in 1970 and a new terrace installed next to one of the stands prior to the FA Cup first round match against Blackburn in 1974, which attracted a then-record attendance of 5,123.[9] More seats were installed in 1975 and that year saw a new record attendance of 5,123 set for an FA Trophy semi-final match against Burton Albion.
