Greenwich Borough FC was formed as Woolwich Borough Council Athletic Club in 1928, gaining senior status and joining the Kent Amateur League in 1929. The club moved to its present ground at Harrow Meadow in 1937 but in 1946 relinquished senior status as the Kent Amateur League proved too strong. The club instead joined the South London Football Alliance, and soon progressed to the Premier Division.
In 1976 the Club moved to the London Spartan League, and the following year regained senior status. Two years later the Boro celebrated their Golden Jubilee by inaugurating their floodlights with a game against Charlton Athletic.
In 1984/85 the Club joined the Kent League, finishing sixth at the first attempt. Two seasons later they won the League-Cup double, scoring some 113 goals along the way.
In 1988, the year of the 60th anniversary of the Club, Boro again won the League, and hoped to progress with some major improvements to their Harrow Meadow ground. Sadly this was not to be.
