Beuningse Boys (in full "Voetbalvereniging Beuningse Boys" or "VV Beuningse Boys", meaning FC Beuningse Boys) is an amateur football club in the town of Beuningen, the Netherlands. They wear vertically red and white striped tops, white shorts and red socks with a white top. The first team plays its matches on Sundays. With its approximately 1,000 members the club belongs to the biggest football (and sports) clubs in the greater region of Nijmegen. Like many other clubs, Beuningse Boys started on July 22, 1945, in the euphoria period just after the Second World War. Beuningse Boys play its matches at "Sportpark de Hutgraaf" in the middle of a residential area, however new plans for a complete new accommodation elsewhere in Beuningen are in the pipeline. Nevertheless, the club is waiting for a political green light.
The club has had its best period in the late 80's when the were playing 2nd division ("2e klasse") in the amateur competition. The next decade the club slided down, and after relegation upon relegation they appeared in the lowest possible division in amateur football.
However, by the end of the millennium the club started to recover sportively. It worked its way back up to the 3rd division in a relatively short time with mainly players brought forth from its own youth teams. Youth teams also performed very well, especially the oldest categories (A and B) and managed to reach the interregional competition ("landelijk") for the first time in history.
Although the club is called Beuningse Boys, "Boys" refers to boys as well as girls teams.
