A.F.C. Phoenix is a football club based in Brinsworth, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Central Midlands Alliance Premier Division North and play at Pavilion Lane.
History
The club originated as Steel, Peech and Tozer, the works team of the steel making firm.[1] In 1950 they beat Maltby Main to reach the 1st qualifying round of the FA Cup, where they were beaten 0–9 by Norton Woodseats. The club was renamed Phoenix in 1971, by which time they were members of the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League and in 1992 they won the Premier Division title.
In 1995 they merged with fellow S&HCSL outfit Ash House to form Ash House Phoenix,[2] but just two years later the new club dissolved and Phoenix was reformed that year. They won their second S&HCSL title in 1998, but fell into difficulties in 2007, later joining the Central Midlands League.
