The high point of their 132 year history is
undoubtedly reaching the 1976 Scottish Junior Cup
Final, where they were defeated 3-0 on the day by a
strong Bo'ness side in a thrilling final.
The team was managed from June 2013 to November
2017 by Scott Clelland, and under his stewardship
Darvel lifted the Ayrshire District League title in 2016

A very warm welcome to

A BRIEF HISTORY
Darvel Football Club, also known as “The Vale”, was
formed in 1889. Their club colours are royal blue and
their change colours are all black.
Recreation Park has been the home of Darvel FC
since their inauguration in 1889 and is situated at the
foot of Irvinebank Road, in the centre of Darvel.
There used to be a very successful social club at the
ground, which was sadly demolished a number of
years ago. The facilities at the ground have been
improved beyond all recognition since John Gall took
over as Chairman, and as well as radical pitch work
they can now boast first class dressing rooms, the
Kier White Suite, a 60 capacity seated main stand, a
100 capacity covered enclosure, a disabled
enclosure, a pie hut (where you can buy the famous
Darvel announced in February 2019 that Colville Park
manager Michael Kennedy would be the new manager
for the season 2019–20. In only his first season in
charge, Darvel and Blantyre Victoria were declared
joint-winners of the West Region Championship in
2019–20, after the season was prematurely halted by
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Darvel went one better the following season, as they
were crowned Premier Division Champions in 2021-22
before missing out in the Lowland League play-offs
against a strong Tranent side. A West of Scotland Cup
win in April 2024 keeps the remarkable run going.
The adventure that began in 1889 continues…
