We take on Enfield this evening in another difficult assignment for our side. Enfield are currently trying to chase down GWR at the top and if they win all their games in hand will be level on points with them, so they will be right up for this and have won their last five league games so this will be tough. But we shall go there with no fear and hope to pick something up this evening. Here is a brief look at our opponents:-

Enfield 1893 F.C. (often known as Enfield or the E's) is a football club, formed in June 2007 after Enfield FC were forced into liquidation due to their former chairman's debts.
Enfield F.C. was a football club traditionally based in Enfield, London, but later temporarily based in Hertfordshire, at Borehamwood and Ware during its demise in later years. The new Enfield 1893 club is based in Enfield at Brimsdown Sports Ground.
The traditional rival of the original Enfield was Barnet, but due to the circumstances of the demise and subsequent split, it is commonly accepted by most supporters that Enfield Town are the rivals of Enfield 1893.
Enfield were one of the most successful amateur clubs in England and at one point were seen[according to whom?] as a potential Football League entrant due to its Football Conference exploits, but went into freefall due to the decision to relocate to Borehamwood.
The new club was based in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire for the 2009–10 season, before returning to Enfield when they moved to Goldsdown Road.

Early years
John Bruce Skinner founded Enfield Football Club in August 1893 as Enfield Spartans, and the club spent its initial season playing friendlies.
The start of the 1894–95 season saw the club play league football for the first time when it joined the Tottenham & District Junior

Alliance League.
The club made the move to the larger Tucker's Field and joined the North Middlesex League in 1896. In 1900 the club dropped the Spartans from the end of its name – this name is now used by a local Youth Football Club – and also made the move to Cherry Orchard Lane. This picked things up at the club and in the 1901–02 and 1902–03 seasons it won back-to-back league titles and so attained ‘senior’ status.
The 1903 saw the club join the London League Division Two. It won the title in 1911 and so gained promotion to the Premier Division.
Most of the next 50 years, the club played in the Athenian League.
After the First World War, Enfield disbanded. Members of Grange Park F.C., which had been a local junior club before the war, held a meeting at the Bell Inn, Baker Street, Enfield in May 1919 with a view to stepping up to senior football and taking on the mantle of Enfield. The decision to become the "new" Enfield was taken the next month.

Isthmian League years
They enjoyed little success until the arrival of Thomas Lawrence in the early 1960s. Lawrence was a charismatic centre forward who attracted much stronger players to the club. His career as a player was cut short when he fractured his skull playing for Great Britain in an Olympic Games qualifier. Successful as a manager, he did even better later in business. Lawrence's arrival was the origin of the success of Enfield, that lasted 30 years. It was not until 1961–62 that the club won the league title for the first time, and a second successive title in 1962–63 won them entry to the Isthmian League. They won seven further league titles, and were one of the first two Isthmian League clubs to join the Alliance Premier League in 1981. During their period in the Isthmian league they made their first appearance in the FA Amateur Cup Final. After taking an early lead their goalkeeper, Malcolm Mitchell broke his arm, and Roy Thomas, a winger, went into goal. No substitutes were allowed and Crook Town won 2–1.

Alliance/Conference years
During the early 1980s, Enfield was among the strongest Conference sides, winning the title in 1982–83 and 1985–86, and the FA Trophy in 1981–82 and 1987–88. Their form slipped and they were relegated to the Isthmian League in 1990. Despite a run of seven consecutive top-three finishes they remained in that league, being denied promotion after winning the title in 1995 because the Football Conference were not satisfied with the club's financial credentials.
Ironically, they won their most recent Conference title in the final season of the re-election system, in which the Football League members had to vote on whether or not to replace one of the bottom four teams in the Fourth Division with the champions of the highest non-league division. As had happened three years earlier, the league members voted against Enfield joining their ranks.

After Southbury Road
In 1999, the club sold its Southbury Road stadium, and began ground sharing with several nearby clubs. Eventually, the board decided on a long term ground share with Boreham Wood, 10 miles away. Fearing that the club would never return to its home borough and the team would continue to struggle near the foot of the league, a group of fans set up a supporters' trust. The trust hoped to become involved in the running of Enfield F.C. and to bring about the club's return to play in the Borough of Enfield. For months, their attempts to help were rebuffed by chairman Tony Lazarou. In February 2001 a deal to transfer control of the club to the Trust was proposed, but Lazarou stalled on the deal for several months and by the beginning of June nothing had happened.
When the club sold Southbury Road, £750,000 from the sale had been placed into an escrow account, for the use of the club in building a new ground. In 2001, chairman Lazarou asked Enfield Council to hand the money over to him even though he had not identified a site for a new ground; after Lazarou threatened legal action, the Council handed over the money. After this, a group of supporters deserted them to form their own club, Enfield Town F.C., based in Brimsdown, claiming that they had acted purely "to keep football alive in the borough of Enfield", but this was, and still is hotly disputed by many.
After these events, Enfield F.C. struggled in the Isthmian League Premier Division, and was relegated in 2003. The 2003–04 season was even worse, finishing bottom of Isthmian League Division One North. In 2004–05 Enfield F.C had moved to Wodson Park, Ware and came second in the Isthmian League Second Division, winning promotion to the Southern League Division One East.
Lazarou owed Enfield Football Club a vast amount of money from the sale of the ground at Southbury Road. A Football Association hearing stated he should repay to the club a sum believed to be in the region of £200,000.
During the close season at the end of the 2006–07 season, Enfield had no choice but to liquidate due to the debts owed to the inland revenue by former chairman Lazarou, forcing the club to resign from the Isthmian League Division One North. Enfield Town F.C. approached Enfield F.C. proposing a merger, but the Enfield F.C. officials opted to remain a separate club, form a new club named Enfield 1893 F.C.

Enfield 1893 Formation
Enfield 1893 joined the Essex Senior League which was situated one step below the Isthmian League Division One North. Enfield 1893 retained all of the Enfield F.C. playing staff who had finished in 13th place in the Isthmian League First Division North the previous season under manager Kevin Lucas. They led the table for much of the year but missed out on promotion on goal difference. They finished second again in the 2008–09 season.
The club shared with Broxbourne Borough V&E from the start of the 2009–10 season, at Goffs Lane, This groundshare lasted for one year, with the club finally moving to Enfield in 2010, moving to the now defunct Brimsdown Rovers Goldsdown Road stadium, which they shared with Enfield Town for the 2010–11 season, Prior to Town moving out at the end of the season.
In 2010–11, the first season after the move to Brimsdown, Enfield 1893 won the Essex Senior League Championship, but were not promoted to the Isthmian League Division One North for the 2011–12 season, due to ground grading requirements. This was a bitter blow for the club and resulted in the break up of Kevin Lucas' squad. After one more season, in which the club finished 7th, Lucas resigned to take over at Ilford FC in the Ryman League Division One North. The Enfield 1893 committee settled on experienced manager Gordon Boateng as Lucas' replacement, but despite a promising start the 2012/13 season petered out into a disappointing 9th placed finish and defeat in the Gordon Brasted Trophy Final. At the end of the campaign Boateng and the club parted company, with the club announcing a week later that promising young manager Luke Giddings and his assistant Paul Norris would move from Eton Manor to take charge of Enfield 1893 for the 2013/14 season.
