I am sure that by now you will be aware that today our NCEL season was suspended and will be reviewed again on the 13 January 2021. We, along with many other clubs are frustrated by a further suspension but we understand the leagues decision. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't and we just have to appreciate how difficult it is for everyone connected with Grassroots football at this present time. At a high level we want to make sure everyone is aware that our club will survive this, however we wouldn’t have done so if it had not been for everyone’s support, our sponsors and the fantastic efforts of our fans. We appreciate the efforts

Briggers U13’s are League Champions
It has been confirmed today that our Worsbrough Bridge AFC U13's have been named League Champions after the the SDJSL calculated the leagues under the Points Per Game System following the cancellation of the season due to Covid-19. The Junior Briggers won 10 of their 11 games played and drew the other game and didn't lose a league game during the 2019/20 season. The league win was well deserved continuing great performances in recent seasons which has seen the team go unbeaten at home for 3 seasons. We caught up with the U13's Manager Jason Watkin on today's news: "Winning the league is reward for the hard work done by everyone, players, parents and coaching team and has been backed up by support
We need your help, Briggers Fans!

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

Community Day – Pay What You Want ! – Saturday 1 February 2020
Worsbrough Bridge AFC v Hallam FC - Pay What You Want ! We made a commitment that after last years game against Hallam FC was abandoned due to floodlight failure that we would make the re-arranged game a "Pay What You Want fixture". Hallam FC are always well supported and we want to recognise all supporters that attended the original fixture. The game is usually well attended in what is always a highly competitive fixture, and as a community club we want to give something back to all those that paid out last time and failed to see a result. Our home attendances have risen by nearly 50% this season so we also want to reward our own supporters who have invested heavily
