A club has existed at Barrasford since the mid 1900s, when reports first crop up of the village playing in the North Tyne League against opposition like Stamfordham and Plashetts. However, newspaper reports do not ascertain the exact location of their ground in these pieces and therefore it's difficult to confirm they played here however there is a decent chance. By 1913 the team were playing in the second division of the West Tyne League alongside Humshaugh, Corbridge Villa A, Acomb United A, Hexham Albion, Hexham Thursday, Haydon Bridge and Newton. After the First World War reports dry up, which could suggest the club disbanded for a short period.

The club were may have been playing again in the mid 1920s, as there is a fleeting reference to a "Barrasford football match" in the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail in 08/03/1926. More regular references start in the early 30s. From 1931 to 1935, they had won the North Tyne League for four successive seasons. A piece in the Chronicle of 03/06/1935 notes their tradition of encouraging schoolboy football and grassroots, which secured a steady pipeline of local players. The Barrasford football ground befitted the locality was "rich in Roman tradition - a natural ampitheatre with grass embankments on three sides giving it the appearance of a coliseum. It is in the heart of glorious scenery typical of the North Tyne."

As noted they played in the North Tyne League and the Northumberland Minor Cup - a regional knockout competition. Progress of the club was suspended due to a horrid road accident in 1935, which left every member of the team hurt and two badly injured after skidding on ice, hitting a lorry and crashing into a hedge five feet high. References unfortunately dry up again for some years after.

Some form of football presence remained at Barrasford into the 1950s, as the football ground remained in use and does so today though the pitch has been reconfigured. It is now in use by Barrasford FC who are in the Hexham and District Sunday League.
