Kinsley Boys Football Club is a football club based in Kinsley near Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England. The club plays in the Northern Counties East League Division One.

History

The club was founded as Kinsley Village F.C.. in 1962 as an under 18s side. The club then progressed as a senior side playing in various local leagues before winning promotion to the Central Midlands League in 2007–08,[1] following the club finishing as champions of the Doncaster & District Senior League. After five seasons in the Central Midlands League, the last being in the North Division, the club transferred to the Sheffield and Hallamshire County Senior League, at the same level but with reduced travel. After one season in that league they were moved back to the Central Midlands League, remaining in this division until rejoining the Doncaster & District Senior League for the 2015–16 season.

The club participated in the FA Vase for the first time in 2011–12, reaching the first round proper in 2013–14.[2]. Kinsley struggled to operate a team over the next decade, withdrawing from leagues on three occasions before finishing second bottom of the Doncaster Senior League First Division in 2024. They transferred to the Central Midlands Alliance League once again that year, and won promotion to the Premier Division North in their first season, and subsequently won the Premier Division North title in 2026 to earn promotion to the Northern Counties East League for the first time.
