In 1982 the Yorkshire League merged with the Midland League to form the Northern Counties East League, and Woolley were the first winners of the NCEL Division 2 South title. They spent the rest of their history in Division 1 and reached the final of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup in 1989, before withdrawing from the NCEL and dissolving a year later.
