Broadbridge
Heath FC - brief history
Broadbridge Heath FC was founded in
1919 by local ex-members of the armed forces
who had just returned from the 1914-18 Great
War. In the very first season of competitive
football, with only 12 registered players,
the club won the Horsham & District
Championship, and Challenge Cup. In 1970/71,
the League amalgamated with the West Sussex
Football League with the Club joining Division
Three. Promotion was won to Division Two
the following season. In 1978/79, following
promotion from the Premier Division of the
WSFL, Broadbridge Heath joined the Southern
Counties Combination League, which at that
time, was a feeder to the Sussex County
League.
The SCCL amalgamated with the County League
in 1983/84, with Broadbridge Heath becoming
founder members of Division Three. The club
moved to its new facilities at Wickhurst
Lane in 1987 and won promotion to Division
Two the following year. Since then the club
has remained in senior football, and spent
a season (1998/99) in Division One before
relegation back to Division Two.
