History
Early years
Club was formed from workers at Lubny mechanical workshops of the iron foundry Feniks.[1] In 1928 Club was renamed Komunar due to factory being renamed in honor of tenth anniversary of October Revolution.[2] Club won its first city championship in 1928.[3] With formation of Spartak and Dynamo in Lubny, club did not win any more trophies before the German invasion in 1941. After the war, when Komunar factory was rebuilt, leadership decided to revive the club. In 1947 it was recreated under new name - Batkivshchyna. In its first year club won city championship and made its debut in oblast championship in group four.

They won their group again and played against Kharchovyk Karlivka for the only promotion spot. Torpedo lost the playoff match.[13]
Avanhard
Sport societies were reorganized in 1958 and the club received their new name - Avanhard.
