History
edit20th century
editThe club was founded on 19 May 1928. It originally played at 'De Bosplak'.
In 1940, NWC joined the Vierde Klasse of the NVB. Until 2005, NWC Asten mostly hovered between the Vierde and Derde Klasse. Exceptions were: 1944–45, when there was no competition; 1957–64, 1974–88, and 1989–90, when it played outside the national league system; and 2002–03, when it played in the Vijfde Klasse.
The first section championship NWC won was in 1943 in the Vierde Klasse.[2] No promotion followed.
NWC's second grounds were 'De Hoge Akker', on the Voordeldonk in Asten. Eventually it moved to 'Sportpark 't Root' on the Beatrixlaan.
21st century
editIn November 2009, the municipality council of Asten made money available for the renewal of the sports park, as it did not meet the requirements of our time. A new clubhouse was completed in September 2014. The new accommodation contains more changing rooms, a canteen and care and meeting rooms. The building is located on the long side of the main field, opposite the grandstand. The old clubhouse was demolished after completion of the new club facilities.
In 2014, NWC was defeated 8–0 in a friendly game against Inter Baku from Azerbaijan, played in Antalya, Turkey.
Since 2017, NWC fields a joined the women's first squad with SV Someren, under the name ST Someren/NWC. In the first season, it played in the Women's Eerste Klasse. Since 2018 it has been in the Hoofdklasse Sunday.
Since 2018, Asten has artificial turf.[3]
