Brimsdown Football Club is a football club based in Brimsdown in the London Borough of Enfield, England. They are currently members of the Eastern Counties League Division One South and groundshare with Wormley Rover F.C. at the Wormley Playing Fields.

History[edit]

Brimsdown was established in 2013 by Lee Okugbeni, manager of the Kentish Town under-18 team.[1] The club was admitted to Division Two of the Spartan South Midlands League for the 2013–14 season. Despite finishing second-from-bottom in their inaugural season, the team finished fourth in the 2014–15 season. However, due to ground inadequacies, Hale Leys United and Kent Athletic, who finished first and second respectively, were ineligible for promotion, allowing Brimsdown to move up to Division One.

The 2015–16 season marked Brimsdown's debut in the FA Vase.[2] In February 2018, Ahmet Toygun and Yilmaz Celik took over the club's ownership. By May 2020, Ahmet Toygun became the sole owner, integrating his football academy into the club, which consists of eight teams ranging from U6 to the First Team.

Following the end of the 2019–20 season, the club was transferred to Division One South of the Eastern Counties League due to a groundshare arrangement with Tilbury. Brimsdown finished bottom of Division One South in the 2021–22 season and was relegated to the Senior Division of the Essex Alliance. They then became Essex Alliance champions the following season, earning promotion back to Division One South.[3]

Ground[edit]

Brimsdown FC has experienced several relocations since its establishment. Initially, the team played on the second pitch at The Downs in Enfield. In 2014, they moved to Goldsdown Road after Enfield 1893 vacated the ground. The 2015–16 season saw the club groundshare at Enfield Town's Queen Elizabeth II Stadium.[4]

In 2016, Brimsdown FC moved to Coles Park, home of Haringey Borough in Tottenham, followed by another move in 2018 to Wodson Park in Ware. In 2020, the club relocated to Chadfields, the home ground of Tilbury.

Most recently, in 2022, Brimsdown FC announced a groundsharing agreement with Wormley Rovers at Wormley Playing Fields.[5]
