Derbyshire FA for the 1892–93 season and was therefore defunct. A club of the same name briefly re-emerged later in the decade, playing junior football only, but again involving the Hay family. Colours The club originally played in amber with a black hoop, switching to navy in 1881. At some point before 1885 they had changed to red and black quarters (the contemporary term for halves). Grounds The club's first ground was the Recreation Ground, near the Crown Inn. The ground was described as "rather peculiar in shape and size", giving Staveley a considerable home advantage. The club's final match at the Recreation was a 2–1 defeat to Gainsborough Trinity on 19 April 1890, in front of 1,000 spectators, as the MS&L railway from Beighton to Chesterfield was due to run through part of the ground. The club planned to move to a new ground for the 1890–91 season after the sale of part of the Recreation, but as it was not ready, the club played at the Staveley Works Cricket Ground. The new ground was meant to be ready for the ill-fated 1891–92 season but it never seems to have been completed.
