Club History

Kimberley Miners Welfare FC was formed in 1926. Early years were spent playing at the Mill Field.
In 1932 the club moved to the new recreation ground in Digby Street, adjacent to Digby Colliery and its cricket ground.
Kimberley have played at Digby Street for 81 years apart from the 1974/75 season when they played at the Wolsey Sports Ground because the construction of the new bypass took away part of the ground.
It was not until the 1995/6 season that changing facilities were provided on the ground.
This was around the time of the club's most successful era under the guidance of Paul Horry.
Kimberley MW won every trophy they could before Horry resigned and was replaced by Steve Hobster on a caretaker basis before the appointment of George Hulley for his first spell at the club. Hulley left and was replace by the popular Alf Stacey and Steve Towle before Hulley returned for a second spell.

In 2012 KMWFC were given a 15 year tenure on The Stag Ground.
