Club History (09/06/09)

Bewdley Town FC Est. 1885

Bewdley have been represented in the Worcestershire and Kidderminster District League since 1885. The original "Town" team was named Wribbenhall Victoria, which then quickly changed to Bewdley Victoria (commonly known as "Bewdley Vic`s"). At some point the name changed and was re-formed under the name Bewdley Comrades, possibly due to the First World War. The comrades were formed by a group of men who had been in the comrades during the 1914-1918 War. Their headquarters was the "Old Pack Horse" in Welsh Gate.
In 1927 Bewdley dropped the comrades name and were simply called Bewdley FC and were playing in and were founder members of the Worcestershire Combination (later known as Midland Combination in 1968). Bewdley remained in this league until 1938 where they finished bottom and left the league.

In 1948-49 Bewdley FC joined the Kidderminster League Divison 1 and finished runners up to Highly. (Teams in the division at this time were Bridgnorth and Ludlow, Stourport Swifts joining in 1950). Bewdley FC finished 2nd again in 1949-50 to Steatite.

In 1952 Bewdley FC revived the name Comrades and Bewdley Comrades were Kidderminster League champions in 1957-58.

After many successful years the life of the Comrades game came to an end around 1974, and the main representation of the town became Bewdley Town Old Boys.

The club now known as Bewdley Town FC was formed in 1978 with the merger of two local teams, "Bewdley Old BOys FC" and "Woodcolliers FC", the latter who played on a Sunday and both originally played at Gardners Meadow in Bewdley. Gardners Meadow was sold to be re-developed which meant that the club had to move to Spennells in Kidderminster. So a massive fundraising project was carried out enabling the club to purchase their current ground at Ribbseford Meadows under the guidance of Robert Burns.

After playing in the Kidderminster and District leagues Bewdley Town`s main senior side under the management of Craig Payton and Chairman Geoff Edwards, joined the West Midlands Division One South in 1999.
