The club was formed in 1996 by Gerry Clarke with help from club secretary Frances Tuzzio and magic sponge lady Jaine Fleetwood who was also programme editor. Gerry bought his first few players with him Luke Fleetwood Ross Clucas and Andrew Dodds from his previous club. They joined the West Midlands (Regional) League Division Two in 2007, and were crowned champions in 2009–10.[1] In 2011 they were promoted to the Premier Division of the West Midlands Regional League after finishing top of Division One.[2] As of the 2011–12 season the club ground-shares with Cradley Town at Beeches View. With Paul Garner keen to step away from the management of the senior side and in to a club development role, BCR would see a new management team in place for the 2012-13 season.
