Brockenhurst Football Club is a football club based in Brockenhurst, near Lymington, in Hampshire, England. They are currently members of the Wessex League Premier Division and play at Grigg Lane.
History
The club was established in 1898. They became founder members of the New Forest League, and went on to win the league several times. After World War I the club played in the Bournemouth League, before joining the West Section of the Hampshire League in 1923. However, after finishing bottom of the West Section in 1925–26, they left the league, returning to the New Forest League. The club re-entered the Hampshire League in 1935, joining Division Two, but left after only two seasons, again dropping back into the New Forest League.
In 1947 Brockenhurst rejoined the Hampshire League for a second time. They were Division Three West runners-up in 1951–52 and became members of the new Division Three following league reorganisation in 1955. The club were Division Three champions in 1959–60, earning promotion to Division Two. After finishing as runners-up in Division Two in 1961–62, they were promoted to Division One. However, the club finished second-from-bottom of Division One in 1964–65 and were relegated back to Division Two.
Brockenhurst were Division Two champions in 1970–71, securing promotion to Division One. They went on to finish as runners-up in 1973–74 and were Hampshire League champions in 1975–76. The club were runners-up again in 1979–80. In 1986 they were founder members of the Wessex League, finishing last in the league's inaugural season. When the league gained a second division in 2004, Brockenhurst became members of Division One, which became the Premier Division in 2006.
After finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 2010–11, Brockenhurst were relegated to Division One. However, they were Division One champions in 2012–13, earning promotion back to the Premier Division. In October 2013 the club were involved in a Hampshire Senior Cup tie against Andover Town which ended 0–0 after extra time. The subsequent penalty shootout resulted in 29 consecutive goals being scored, with Brockenhurst winning 15–14, a result later confirmed by the Football Association as an English record (and possibly a world record) for the highest number of consecutive goals scored in a penalty shootout.
In 2019–20 Brockenhurst won the Bournemouth Senior Cup, winning 5–4 on penalties against Hamworthy United after a 2–2 draw. The following season saw them win the Hampshire Senior Invitation Plate.
