MIDLAND LEAGUE PREMIER DIV'N/b]

[b]SATURDAY 24th FEBRUARY 2024 3.00pm KICK OFF

BEWDLEY TOWN v NORTHWICH VICTORIA

On Saturday, Vics make their longest journey of the season when they travel down to Bewdley to take on Bewdley Town. Bewdley Town Football Club, as it is now known, was formed in 1978, following over 90 years competing under various local names, one of which has been resurrected recently by the youth section as Bewdley Comrades.

The club was formed with the merger of two local teams , Bewdley Old Boys F.C and Woodcolliers FC, the latter who played on a Sunday and both originally playing at Gardeners Meadow in Bewdley. The ground at Gardeners Meadow was sold for re-development which meant the club had to seek a new venue and moved temporarily to Kidderminster. A massive fundraising project commenced, which enabled the club to purchase land and return to Bewdley, to their home Ribbesford Meadows under the guidance of Robert Burns.
Bewdley have had a poor season, and are currently bottom of the league with just 4 points from 22 matches and looking odds on favourites for relegation but stranger things have happened.

Your support is massively important as we go through the season and we hope to see you down at Bewdley.
