History

There are records of a team named Kimberley Town from the late 19th century playing in the FA Cup between 1892 and 1908. However, the forerunner to the current club, Kimberley YMCA, were first reported of in 1915 when they won the Notts Intermediate Cup. The club disbanded in 1928, but reformed with the purpose of playing friendlies in 1947. In the 1950s Kimberley YMCA joined the Notts Amateur League, winning the division's Senior Knockout Cup in 1954 before becoming league champions the following season. This lead to promotion to Central Alliance League Division Two. A year later the club changed name to Kimberley Town. In 1986 the club were founder members of the Supreme Division, but a lack of floodlights meant demotion to the Premier Division four seasons later. In the period following, Kimberley Town have spent many seasons in both the Premier and Supreme Divisions, with their best finish being one of 2nd place in the Supreme Division in the 1997-98 season.

Paul Rawden is the current 1st team manager and the well respected former Radford boss is looking to move The Stags forward.
