History

Founded in 1904, the club initially played in the Huddersfield & District League.[1] They joined the West Riding County Amateur League in 1934 and were runners-up in their first season in the league.[2] After finishing bottom of the table in 1937–38, the club left the league.[2]

Golcar won the West Riding County Challenge Cup in 2000–01,[3] and were Premier Division runners-up in 2003–04. The following season saw them win the West Riding County Amateur League title.[4] They were runners-up in 2014–15, and champions in 2017–18.[5] They retained the league title the following season, and were promoted to Division One North of the North West Counties League.[6] In 2021–22 they finished third in the league, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating AFC Blackpool in the semi-final, they defeated Holker Old Boys in the final to earn promotion to the Premier Division.[7]

Ground

The club moved to their Longfield Avenue ground in 1955,[1] where the pitch had a noticeable side-to-side slope.[8] Following their promotion to the North West Counties League, floodlights were installed, and were used for the first time on 8 October when the club defeated local rivals Shelley 1–0 in a league match in front of 556 spectators.[9] A 100-seat stand was erected in March 2020.[10]
