History

The club was established by Rocky McMillan as Glebe Globetrotters in 1995, [2] [3] and was initially based in West Wickham. [4] They were initially a youth team and were members of the Kent Youth League in 2013, when an adult team was formed and joined the Kent Invicta League. [4] In 2016 the league merged into the Southern Counties East League, becoming its Division One. [5] In 2015–16 they won the London Senior Trophy, beating Tooting Bec 4–1 in the final. [6]

In 2016–17 Glebe won the Division One title, earning promotion to the Premier Division. They finished third in the Premier Division in 2023–24 and qualified for the promotion play-offs, in which they were beaten 2–1 by Erith Town in the semi-finals. In June 2025 the club announced a name change to Chislehurst Glebe, with the change to be phased in over the next two years. [7]

Ground

After joining the Kent Invicta League, the club played at Holmesdale's Oakley Road ground in Bromley. [8] In 2014 they obtained a 25-year lease on Foxbury Avenue ground in Chislehurst, the former ground of Old Elthamians rugby club. [8] The first match at the new ground on 18 July 2015 saw the club lose 3–2 to Canterbury City in front of a crowd of 42. [3]
