Managers Final Word
With the season coming to a premature end, we are back where we started......... We caught up with the Worsbrough Bridge Manager Lee Morris to chat about the 2019/20 season that never was..... The season ended prematurely what are you thoughts on the decision? LM - Like most clubs it was a frustrating end to a hard season but ultimately the right decision. With the ground flooding (twice) and then with the Coronavirus and players not training or playing for several weeks it would have been pretty much like starting a new pre-season. Frustrated but right decision. The main priority right now is the health of everyone and doing the right things to stay safe, so for me it was the right decision.
It’s been an eventful 1st season for the Chairman!!
It looks as though the Coronavirus will bring a premature end to Worsbrough Bridge AFC season. With 2 floods from the adjourning River Dove in October 2019 and February 2020 it has been an interesting and demanding first full season for the club. Although the season is only currently suspended it is unlikely for teams at this level of the football pyramid to be able to complete their fixtures. However if the FA and Leagues make the decision to re-start we will be ready in the best way we can whilst still looking to protect the health of all connected to the club. As a club Worsbrough Bridge AFC have had a good season. Our 1st team have been competitive in
We need your help, Briggers Fans!
With the current situation regarding Coronavirus and the suspension of the NCEL, Worksop Van Hire U21's League, Northern Alliance U19's League, Sheffield Junior League and Sheffield Womens & Girls League the club will be losing the major part of its income from matchdays.

Message from the Chairman
Sadly due to the outbreak of Cornonavirus we are left in the position where we have to respect the advice and guidance of the government and football authorities and confirm that all footballing activities for every adult and junior team associated with Worsbrough Bridge AFC are suspended with immediate effect and until further notice. I fully appreciate that for many this is frustrating after an already difficult season with heavy rain and flooding but this is an unprecedented situation and one in which we need to try to protect the health and wellbeing of all managers, coaches, players, supporters and volunteers. We will continue to stay in touch with you all through our website, Twitter and Facebook pages or over the
Time to Reflect…….
With Coronavirus now impacting the club's fixtures and after 2 severe floods this season we just wanted to reflect on what overall has been a positive campaign to date and to ask supporters to come back and support us in the final few weeks of the season when the suspension is lifted. • 1st team reaching the Semi-Final of the Sheffield Senior Cup.• Match day attendances up by more than 50% from last season.• Fantastic financial backing from sponsors old and new.• Brand new U21s team in the Worksop Van Hire Development league sitting 2nd and still in the latter stages of the cup.• U19s top of the Northern Alliance League with a set off new exciting young players for the

Nostell MWFC Postponement
Club Statement Following today's postponement of our NCEL game against Nostell MWFC the club want to issue a short statement. As Chairman of the club I have always tried to be open and transparent with supporters, managers and players and today is no exception. I respect freedom of speech and people are entitled to make comments, however some things said today are both disrespectful to the club and it's volunteers and wholly untrue. The club has suffered from 2 severe floods in 4 months, which for a club with limited resources and manpower has been difficult. Despite the recent better weather our pitch had areas of standing water which we have been working to remove through building of additional drainage areas and pitch
