History

Dumfries YMCA FC started off in the early 1970s, playing in the youth leagues in their local area of Dumfries and Galloway. It wasn't until 1976 that the decision was made for the club to enter a team in to the DDAFL's League Division 2. Within a few seasons, in 1981, the club achieved promotion to League Division 1, the top flight of the DDAFL, and remained there until the league disbanded in 2013.[1]

After that promotion in 1981, the club went on to win 6 League Division 1 titles within a ten-year period. The first of which came in 1984 and the last of which came in 1993. Those 6 titles rank as 4th in the all-time list of DDAFL League Division 1 winners. The club have also finished as league runners-up a total of 7 times to date.[2]

After the DDAFL disbanded, the club entered their team in the South of Scotland Football League, where they continue to compete. They have yet to hit the heights of the team of the 1980s, failing to win a competition since the 2011/12 season.[3]

The club's official home ground is MacLeod Pavilion at Kingholm Quay but they play all home matches on a 4G surface at the nearby Dumfries High School.
