Exploring the WMRL with Club Details and Useful information

Bewdley have been represented in the Kidderminster & District league since the early 1900's. The original 'Town' team was named 'Bewdley Comrades', formed by a group of men who had been comrades during the 1914-1918 war. Formerly known as 'Bewdley Vic's', their headquarters was the 'Old Pack Horse' in Welsh Gate. After many successful years the life of the 'Comrades' game came to an end, and the main representation of the town became Bewdley Town Football Club.

The club was formed in 1978 with the merger of the two local teams, 'Bewdley Old Boys F.C' and 'Woodcolliers F.C' and originally played at Gardeners Meadow in Bewdley, then having to move to Spennells in Kidderminster.

A massive fundraising project was carried out to enable the club to purchase the current ground here at Ribbesford Meadows.

Improvements at Ribbesford Meadows are on-going in providing football facilities to cater for 11 teams this season, which include West Midlands League Division 1, Kidderminster & District League, Stourport & District 11 aside Boys League; and small sided League.

In 2005 Bewdley finished runners up in West Midlands Division 1 gaining promotion to the West Midlands Premier League. In order that Bewdley compete in this league they had to rent local rivals ground Stourport Swifts. In 2006 Bewdley were granted permission to Build stands and floodlights at their home ground at Ribbesford.
