History

Two years later in the 2001–02 season they finished runners-up, gaining promotion to Division One. They followed runners-up again a year later in the 2002–03 season, with promotion to the Northern Alliance Premier Division. They then changed their name to Team Northumbria.[1] In the Premier Division they finished second and third in their first two seasons, before being crowned Northern Alliance Champions in the 2005–06 season, gaining promotion to the Northern League Division Two, which they won in the 2011–12 season to gain promotion to the first division.
