Stokesley Sports Club Football Club is a football club based in Stokesley, North Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Wearside League and play at the Stokesley Sports Club.

History

Formed in 1920, the club spent most of the 20th century participating in local leagues before joining the Teesside League in 1994 before progressing to the Wearside League in 1999. Seven years later the club was accepted into the Northern League.^[1]

In each of their first two seasons at the higher level, Stokesley finished near the middle of the table. Promotion has also enabled the club to participate in national competitions - in the FA Vase their best performance came in 2008–09 when they reached the Second Round, and during the same season they made their debut in the FA Cup, beating Washington in the Extra Preliminary Round before losing to Wakefield in the Preliminary Round.

In the summer of 2009 the club changed their name to Stokesley Football Club.

In 2009–10 the club became champions of the Northern League Second Division and gained promotion to the First Division for the first time in the club's history. They scored in every league game and had the league's top scorer in Andrew Jennings.

In 2009 the club's under-13 team won the national Tesco Cup.^[2]

In season 2010–11 the club finished 16th in division 1, but following the season the manager, chairman and secretary as well as the rest of the committee resigned quoting a lack of support from the sports club. Renamed Stokesley Sports Club FC, in 2011, a new team was appointed under the leadership of manager Monty Alexander. In the 2011–12 season Stokesley were relegated back to Division Two after finishing the season with 4 points and not having won a single game.

In the 2015-16 season, Stokesley were relegated into the Wearside League. Despite ending the season on a high, winning two of their final three games, Stokesley finished on 14 points, collecting just a single point away from home, finishing bottom of the table.
