was an English association football club based in Kilnhurst, South Yorkshire.

The club was founded in 1877,[2] its first competitive football coming in the Hallamshire Cup in 1880–81.

[4] It had a fierce rivalry with Mexborough, one match in 1893 at Kilnhurst resulting in criminal proceedings, as when a fight broke out between players, a spectator climbed over a 2' 6" wire fence to join in, and provoked a general mêlée that took 20 minutes to clear; the original spectator was fined 10s .

[8] The club played in black and yellow striped shirts, hence the club being nicknamed the Wasps; however such was its financial state that it did not have a regular change kit, having to borrow from other clubs when there was a clash - on one occasion, when no such change was available, the players wore "divers colours and patterns, generally speaking old-fashioned and faded".

[14][15] The ground was sparse, with no grandstand or facilities, notable only for a chip shop at the entrance.
