Desborough Town F.C. is an association football club based in Desborough, Northamptonshire, England. The club is currently a member of the United Counties League Premier Division.
History
The "Ar Tarn" was founded in 1896, joining the Northants League in its second season (1896–97). This league later became the United Counties League; the club has played in every official season since with the exception of 1945–46, since 1972–73 in the Premier Division. This longevity has meant that they are the second-most frequent title winners in League history (Rushden Town have won it most often), but they have not been champions since 1967.
The 2007–08 season saw one of the more successful seasons of recent history with Desborough finishing 3rd in the UCL Premier – having sat in the top two for most of the season, a run in the FA Vase and the capture of the United Counties League Knock-Out Cup beating division one champions Daventry Town 3–2 at [Wellingborough Town]].
The summer saw manager Steve Noble depart for Stewarts & Lloyds Corby FC taking with him assistant Graham Leech as well as the bulk of the first team squad. It was left to former Rothwell Town duo Dave Williams and Frank Benjamin to virtually re-build the squad.
In December 2008, the club suffered a fire at their ground, the new clubhouse is currently being re-built and is expected to re-open in October 2011.
In 2010 with the squad near the bottom of the UCL Premier, Desborough sacked Williams and Benjamin and appointed from within – promoting Martin McLeod from his role as reserve team manager.
McLeod resigned as manager of Desborough Town on the 16th November 2011 with Ar Tarn rooted to the bottom of the table.
