AFC Rushden & Diamonds

A.F.C. Rushden & Diamonds is an English football club based in Northamptonshire. They played their opening season at Kiln Park, the home of Raunds Town, in 2011–12 and have subsequently shared the Dog & Duck ground with Wellingborough Town since July 2012. The club was formed in July 2011 by supporters after Rushden & Diamonds, a former Football League club, were expelled from the Football Conference and liquidated. At an open meeting chaired by a supporters group called SaveRDFC, a mandate was agreed upon to create a phoenix club, fully owned and controlled by its supporters. A team was created and accepted into the Northants Senior Youth League for the 2011–12 season, while a senior team played in the United Counties Football League Division One for the 2012–13 season. For the 2013–14 season, an Under-21 team was added, which plays in the Midland Football Combination Under-21 division.
