[edit] History
The club was founded in 1955 under the name Oldswinford F.C., and it was under this name that they first joined the West Midlands League in 1975. In 1993 they changed their name to Brierley Hill Town, and under this name they were founder members of the Midland Alliance in 1994. Unfortunately their first season in that league saw them finish bottom, having won just three times all season, and they returned to the West Midlands League, where they remain to this day.
In 2001, financial difficulties led to them merging with West Hagley F.C. of the Midland Combination to form Brierley and Hagley F.C., initially ground-sharing with Halesowen Harriers F.C.. Since that club's demise they have shared The Sports Ground with Lye Town, but in April 2006 they anticipate moving to their new home.
