the West Cheshire League in 1996. The club won the Second Division in the 2004–05 season, and were promoted to the First Division. Their best season was in 2007-08 when they finished fifth in the West Cheshire top division. But in the 2008–09 season the first team was obliged to drop out of the top division, with their record being expunged. The following year, the first team took the place of the reserve team in the second division of the West Cheshire League. In their final season, the re-formed club finished just outside the promotion places, third in the Second Division. However, the new club also folded in the close season of 2012, having been unable to raise a new committee to replace the outgoing one. At present no senior team bears the name of New Brighton in league competition.
