Rossington Main was established in 1919, and their FA Cup debut took place in 1921. They participated in the FA Cup until the Second World War and reached their best run in 1924, making it to the fourth qualifying Round but ultimately losing 0-3 to Lincoln City. In 1923, the club relocated to their current ground at Oxford Street. A few years later, they had their most successful FA Cup run against Lincoln City. The club operated as Rossington Colliery for 30 years and experienced their most triumphant season after World War II when they won both the Doncaster Senior League and Cup, earning the nickname "Doncaster Double" in 1944/45. In 1948, due to nationalisation of the mines, the club underwent a name change to Rossington Miners Welfare and claimed the Doncaster Senior League Premier Division Cup in 1974. In the 1980s and 90s, they changed their name to Rossington Main and became founding members of the Central Midlands League. They achieved success by winning the Premier Division and Premier Division Cup in their second year. In 1984, floodlights were erected at Oxford Street, which have been upgraded to new LED lights, making them one of the best floodlight installations in the league. In 1991, new changing rooms were built at Oxford Street, and a crowd of 1,200 attended the inaugural match against Leeds United. That same year, the club earned promotion to the NCEL (Northern Counties East League) and has remained in the same division until 2023. Currently, Rossington Main is managed by local talent Ben Hunter, who took charge of the club in 2019 and was assisted by Matt Ellison and Sam Parkin, who brought in a group of promising young footballers. The team has been steadily progressing, playing attractive football, and building on their achievements each season. In 2022, Rosso had a successful season in the NCEL Division One, finishing 5th in the league with 81 points from 40 games. However, they lost 2-0 in the play-off semi-final against North Ferriby F.C. For the 2022/23 season, Hunter made changes to his backroom staff, with another local lad Mick Fraser being appointed as assistant manager. The team achieved promotion to Non-League step 5 for the first time in the club’s history after winning the Division One play-offs, defeating Horbury Town 3-1 at home in front of a record league competition crowd of 1164 spectators. The start of the 2023/24 season saw Rosso set a record attendance of 1,697 in a pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers. Shortly into the season Hunter then appointed Zeph Thomas as assistant manager. In what was Rosso’s debut season in the NCEL Premier at Non-League step 5, Rosso recorded their highest ever league finish in 4th but later lost in the play-off semi-final against Garforth Town on penalties after a 0-0 draw away from home. Rosso also reached the semi-final of the NCEL Cup for the first time but was knocked out by the league champions Emley AFC. During in August 2024, Fraser returned as assistant manager following Thomas leaving to become the manager of new NCEL Division One club Dearne & District. The next month in early September Hunter stepped down as manager and club captain Greg Young was assigned as interim manager. After five games in charge with three wins out of five, Young was given the job on a permanent basis in early October 2024.
