History

The club was established in 1993, and joined the Southern Olympian League.[2] They were Division Four champions in 1994–95,[3] after which they joined Division One of the Middlesex County League.[4] The following season it was renamed the Senior Division, and Broadfields were champions, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[4] Despite finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 1998–99, they were not relegated.[4]

However, in 2003–04 the club finished bottom of the Premier Division again and subsequently left the league.[5] They returned in 2007, joining Division One West.[6] Despite finishing second-from-bottom of the division, they were promoted to the Premier Division for the 2008–09 season.[6] They withdrew from the league towards the end of the 2009–10 season, resulting in their record being expunged, but returned to the Premier Division for the 2010–11 season.[6]

In 2011–12 Broadfields won the Premier Division Cup, retaining it the following season.[2] In 2014–15 they finished fourth in the Premier Division, allowing the club to be promoted to Division One of the Spartan South Midlands League.[7] The club were Division One runners-up in 2018–19, earning promotion to the Premier Division.
