history

The Bray Unknowns were founded in 1903. The club was first included in 1924 with Fordsons FC instead of Midland Athletic and Shelbourne United in the League of Ireland . In the first five seasons the team competed in Woodbrook , from 1929 the team played their home games in the Carlisle Ground , which was opened in 1862 .

Biggest success of the Bray Unknowns in the championship was in the season 1936/37 reaching fourth place in the table, tied with runner-up Dundalk FC and third Waterford FC , after the team had been bottom of the table in the previous season. In the following years, the team slipped back into the middle of the table. After three last places in a row, the club was not re-elected at the end of the 1942/43 season and from then on only played in the local league area outside the League of Ireland.

In 1944 the professional football department was dissolved and from then on only played in the amateur field. In 1973 the club merged with local rivals Bray Wanderers , who had stopped playing ten years earlier in 1963, and have been playing professional football again under his name since then.
