The origins of the club began with the creation of three clubs. The Enfield Athletic Club was founded 1920 and the Ponders End Athletic Club was founded in 1922. Another club known as Southgate Harriers, were formed in 1932 by a breakaway group from the Southgate and Wood Green Sports Association.[1]
