Club History
There was a Kimberley Town football club members of the Nottingham Football league, well before the turn of the century. reports in the Nottingham Evening Post tell of a match on the 4th December 1886, when in the Nottinghamshire County Cup. Nottingham Forest beat Kimberley Town in the Second Round of that competition 7-0. Kimberley Town had beaten Basford Pioneers in the First round 2-0. Indeed the Stags featured in the FA Cup from 1892 until 1907/08 and thir most notable achievement in the competition was to reach the 3rd Quaifying Round, where they lost to leicester Fosse 3-0.
The earliest note we have of Kimberley YMCA, forerunner of Kimberley Town , is that they were winners of the Notts Intermediate Cup in 1915. However they disbanded in 1928 and were not re-formed until 1947/48 when they played friendlies. in their first competition, the Notts Amateur League, Kimberley were Senior Knockout Cup winners and Division One runners up in 1954 and then Divsion One Champions in 1955. Their next venture was to the Central Alliance League Division Two and within a year they took on the title of Kimberley Town.
The club became Founder members of the Central Midlands Supreme Division, but after 4 seasons was demoted to the Premier Division for not having floodlights.
Good fortune in the shape of benefactor Russell Penney brought floodlights and a social club to the Stag ground.
In May 2001 the club changed hands and a new youth policy was set up to bring quality players in to the club at reserve and first team level. This has now been acheived and the club is now going forward.
