[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. 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. After that club's demise they shared The Sports Ground with Lye Town, and for the 2007–08 season they are using Halesowen Town's The Grove as their home venue. The club are now developing their Wassell Grove land into a new stadium and already 3 pitches have been set out and are being played on.
