Kirkcaldy YM Junior Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Formed in 1969 as an amateur club, they became members of the Scottish Junior Football Association in 1970. Their home ground is Denfield Park where they have been based since 1993 although previous grounds included a five-year spell in the village of Coaltown of Wemyss during the 1970s, .
The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006–07 season, and Kirkcaldy found themselves in the twelve-team East Region, Central Division. They finished second in their first season in the division.
The club pulled out of the Central Division's 2007–08 campaign due to a shortage of players. A public meeting in February 2008 led to the formation of a new committee and the club re-joined the Central Division for the 2008–09 season.[1]
The team have been managed since November 2016 by Kenny Crawford.[2]
They have signed a number of promising players for the 2018/19 season including Jason Nouri and Connor McManus from the mighty Steadings, Drew Peacock and Pat Maroot from Spartak Thistle and Neil "The speccy beanpole" Linton. They may be in with a chance of a good season if they learn to 'Trust The Process'. A famous confidence boosting and trust technique utilised by Stuart Pep Lochrie at Steadings in their late title winning run in 2017/18
