Rothwell Corinthians F.C. is a football club based in Rothwell, Northamptonshire, England.
[edit] History
The Rothwell Corinthians were founded in 1932 as a church youth side, joining the Kettering Amateur League, which became the East Midlands Alliance. For many years, the Corinthians have lived in the shadow of near neighbours Rothwell Town.
The club started out playing at the local recreation ground, moving to Rothwell Town's cricket ground in the early 1980s, and starting to conduct their affairs more seriously. The East Midlands Alliance too raised its game, and in 1984 the Corinthians gained promotion to the Premier Division. The club purchased land in Desborough Road. Their present ground opened in 1986.
In 1989-90 the Corinthians won the Premier Division championship for the first time, and 1994-95 saw a repeat. Following discussions with the management committee, Corinthians were admitted to the United Counties League for the 1995-96 season. Ground improvements continued; floodlighting was installed in 1999, which has enabled the club to compete in the FA Vase.
The club had their most successful season to date in 2007-08, their third place finish in Division One, proving sufficient to earn promotion to the Premier Division.
In the 2011-12 season, Rothwell Corinthians are playing in the United Counties League Division One, led by new manager Matt Clarke &Jasonn Thurland, looking to bounce back up to the Premier Division after the recent relegation.
