Boys' Town Football Club is a Jamaican professional football club based in the community of Trench Town in Kingston.[1] The club currently competes in the KSAFA Championship.
The team is based in Kingston, Jamaica, with their home ground at the Collie Smith Drive Sporting Complex, which can hold up to 2,000 spectators.[2]
It is said that Bob Marley was a fan of this club.
Boys' Town was founded as a Christian project in 1940 by Reverend Father Hugh Sherlock for the young people in Kingston's Trench Town community.[3] They have won the national league title on three occasions, the most recent in 1988.[4]
After finishing runners-up to Tivoli Gardens in the 2010–11 season, they started the 2011–12 season on a low after fielding an ineligible player (Marvin Morgan, Jr.) in their first two matches and were deducted one point.[5]
