History
The earliest references to the club are from the 1900–01 season, when it joined the Lancashire Alliance. It finished bottom but one in its first season, but in 1902–03 was runner-up. It also won the Wigan Cup with a 3–1 win over Atherton Church House.The club joined the second division of the Lancashire Combination in 1903–04, and remained in the competition for five seasons, finishing between 5th and 14th in a competition that contained between 18 and 20 clubs over the piece. It also entered the FA Cup over the same period but only twice reached the second qualifying round. As a second division side, it did not enter the Lancashire Senior Cup, competing in the Junior Cup instead, but without success.
The club's committee decided to convert the club into a limited liability company before the 1907–08 season, However, at the end of 1908, the club was forced to disband because of a lack of financial support, with its league fixtures being taken over by Great Harwood. The club's final match, at home to Glossop reserves on Christmas day, summed up the straits in which it had found itself; the gate was a mere £2, the start was delayed by half-an-hour as the Brynn kit had been lost, the XI the club fielded was a "scratch" side of its remaining reserves, plus half-back Aspinall who was forced to play in goal, and the visitors won 8–0. The club had taken only 1 point from its 12 league games.
