They were six times Northern League Champions, four times winners of the old North Eastern League, on 16 occasions Durham Challenge Cup holders. They 18 times reached the FA Cup first round, twice the second and in 1937 at West Brom in front of a 23,000 crowd, the third. Spennymoor have since faced Wigan Athletic, Tranmere Rovers, Chesterfield & Rotherham United in the same competition.
