Club History

The club was established in 1956 as an under-16 team, and initially played in the Bristol Church of England league, winning the Somerset Intermediate Cup in 1961–62 and 1962–63, and the Somerset Junior Cup in 1963–64. By 1965 the club were playing in the Senior Division of the Bristol & Suburban League.

During the 1970’s we moved up to the Somerset County League, winning the League Cup in 1976–77, and finishing as runners-up in the Premier Division in 1979–80, 1983–84 and 1984–85.

 The club went on to win the Premier Division and the Somerset Senior Cup in 1988–89, and after finishing as runners-up and winning the Senior Cup in 1990–91, they were promoted to Division One of the Western League.

Brislington won the Somerset Senior Cup again in 1992–93, and after a third-place finish in Division One in 1993–94, they won both Division One and the Senior Cup the following season and were promoted to the Premier Division.

 After winning the Somerset Premier Cup in 1995–96, the club were Premier Division runners-up in 2002-03 and again in 2012-13.

Due to the escalating travel costs of the Toolstation Western League Premier Division, which forced Odd Down take voluntary relegation, and with a sideways move to the Hellenic Premier ruled out the club decided to follow Odd Downs lead and take the step down to the Toolstation Western League Division one. This  proved to be a decisive move as the 2022/23 Season saw the Foxes win the  league Scoring 130 goals in the process, and reach the Semi Final of the Les Phillips cup. 

Brislington were unable to return to the Premier division, although this was a blessing in disguise as that season saw the demise of Ashton & Backwell as a Western league club and Bitton who failed to fulfil their fixtures, pulling out midway through the season, both falling foul of the increased running costs.

The 2023/24 Season saw the reintroduction of an U18’s side as the club look to rebuild a pathway to adult football from within.
