PINXTON FC

Pinxton Football Club was formed in 1994 and played in the Mansfield Bi er League between 1994
and 1998. We gained our first success in the 1995-1996 season by becoming the Division 2
Champions and League Cup Winners. The following season saw us crowned Division 1 Champions
and a brought a new challenge with the club joining the Midland Regional Alliance League for the
1997-98 season. The success of the club continued as we won the Derbyshire Junior Cup with a 1-0
victory against Furness Vale in May 1999. In the 2001-2002 season we were crowned Division 1
Champions and were promoted to the Premier Division. In our first season we had a respectable 12th
place finish and then improved upon this in the 2003-2004 season with a 6th place finish. With the
club wanting to further its ambitions we took the decision to join the Central Midlands Football
League at the start of the 2004-2005 season. In our debut season we finished a creditable 4th and
were promoted to the Supreme Division. After a shocking start to the new season, we managed to
finish 15th but were relegated back to the Premier Division due to league rules concerning the
erection of floodlights. We finished the next season in 5th and were promoted back into the Supreme
Division where we ended the season in 14th place. We had a disappointing start to the 2008-2009
season, but we hit a purple patch after Christmas which saw us finish in 8th and under the guidance
of Tim Graney win our first piece of silverware in the CMFL when we demolished Sutton Town 4-0 in
the final of the Floodlit Cup.

At the start of the 2010-2011 season Tim took over the secretary role and handed the management
reins over to Kenny Shinfield, a er 2 seasons as Manager Kenny transferred to Assistant Manager for
the 2021-13 season and Glen Clarence took the role of Manager, Martin Sutton has also joined the
club for the season in the position of Coach. The 2013-14 season brings a new look management
team of Ben Newman, Lee Cook and Kenny Shinfield. In the 2010-11 season we took the decision to
introduce an Under 19’s team at the club to replace the previous Reserves, they have had a very
successful couple of seasons in the North Midlands Under 19’s League, being crowned Division 3
Champions in their first season and finishing runners up in Division 2 in the 2011-12 season, which
sees them promoted to Division 1 for the coming season, where we are hopeful they will continue
their success.

After a good start to the 2017-2018 campaign a new management team was formed, Kenny Shinfield
was appointed as first team manager with two assistants Nathan Benger and Kieran Debrouwer. A
creditable season with the team finishing 4th in the league. This was overshadowed by the club’s
finest achievement in becoming the 2017-2018 League Cup Winners with a 4-3 victory over
Collingham FC. The 2018-2019 season saw the club win both cup competitions with victory over
Hucknall in the league cup and Collingham in the Floodlit cup.

The 2022-2023 campaign started with a new management team of Mark Richard, Kenny Shinfield
and Mark Barker with new additions to the team. Now with a full season under their belt, this season
promises to be another successful year for Pinxton FC.

Season 2023/24 saw Pinxton finally become champions of the Central Midlands Premier south division and gain
promotion to step 6 and Untied counties division.
