In the club's second season, in 1957–58, the Reserves won the Derby Senior League Cup, and in their third season, the senior team won the Division One (South)Championship.

The reserve team took the honours the following season, winning the Central Alliance Division One Championship and the Derbyshire Divisional Cup.
