Bromyard Town Football Club was originally formed in 1893 and was one of the founder members of the Herefordshire Football League. During the post war years the Town had a very strong team and won nearly every competition in the area, playing on various sites over the years

In the mid 1980’s the Committee started to look for a permanent ground and in 1986, were able to purchase their present home “ Delahay Meadow”. Work to level their site and build a clubhouse was done mostly by club members. The Official Opening was held in 1994.

In 1996 they applied to the Lottery for assistance with floodlighting but were rejected as they would not assist with grass pitch area’s. The Committee has also approached various mobile phone companies and Vodaphone made them an offer which enabled them to proceed with a new Abacus lighting system, these were ready at the end of the 1998/99 season.

In the 1999/2000 season, the Club won both the H.F.A. county Challenge Cup and The West Midlands Regional League Division One South Championship, and after meeting the ground standards required for promotion duly accepted the invitation to join the Premier Division.
