Brislington Football Club is an English football club based in Brislington, in Bristol. The club are currently members of the Premier Division of the Western League. Nicknamed "Briz" and newly "The Foxes", they play at Ironmould Lane.[1]

History

The club was established in 1956 as an under-16 team, and initially played in the Bristol Church of England League.[2] They won the Somerset Intermediate Cup in 1961–62 and 1962–63, and the Somerset Junior Cup in 1963–64.[2] By the mid-1960s they were playing in the Senior Division of the Bristol and Suburban Association Football League, and during the 1970s the club moved up to the Somerset County League.[2] They won the League Cup in 1976–77 and finished as runners-up in the Premier Division in 1979–80 and 1984–85. They won the title and the Somerset Senior Cup in 1988–89,[2] and after finishing as runners-up again in 1990–91, were promoted to Division One of the Western League.[3]

After a third-place finish in 1993–94, the club won Division One the following season and were promoted to the Premier Division.[3]

After being reformed in 1956, the club initially played on a pitch at Arnos Court Park.[2] They now play at Ironmould Lane.[4] The ground holds 2,000 with 144 seats and 1,500 covered standing places.[5]
