History

The club was established in 2013 when Lee Okugbeni, manager of the Kentish Town under-18 team, wanted the squad to progress to adult football; they were subsequently admitted to Division Two of the Spartan South Midlands League for the 2013–14 season.[2][3] The club finished second-from-bottom of the division in their first season, but the 2014–15 season saw them finish fourth.[3] However, Hale Leys United and Kent Athletic, who had finished first and second respectively, were unable to take promotion due to inadequate grounds, allowing Brimsdown to take promotion to Division One.[2] The 2015–16 season saw the club enter the FA Vase for the first time.[3] At the end of the 2019–20 season, the club were transferred to Division One South of the Eastern Counties League as a result of a groundshare with Tilbury.

Ground

The club initially played on the second pitch at the Downs in Enfield, before moving to Goldsdown Road in 2014 after Enfield 1893 vacated the ground.[2] In 2015–6 they groundshared at Enfield Town's Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, before moving to Haringey Borough's Coles Park in Tottenham in 2016, and then Ware's Wodson Park in 2018. They moved to Tilbury's Chadfields ground in 2020.

gollark: Oh, uniforms are bad, why even *have* those (except to produce conformity, which is an unstated goal of lots of schooling I think)?
gollark: But it forces you to do lots of things even when you don't particularly like them and are uninterested in continuing them.
gollark: One example *is* excellent evidence of general trends, yes.
gollark: My school was mostly okay, but I think it's a suboptimal system for anything but somewhat bad subsidized childcare.
gollark: If you keep lying to people, they will probably stop believing you at some point.
