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
U17
High 5 to the under 17’s side
Tonight the 23rd of september Worsbrough Bridge u17 team won 5-0 against Ecclesall Rangers goals from James Haigh, Eliot Howarth who scored a worldie from 35 yards,Thomas Wheater,Connor Young and special mention to Lewis Wainwright who scored his first goal for the club confirmed victory and they will face last years finalists Abbey Lane in the next round. I spoke to Manager Stuart who had this to say when i asked how his side felt about playing at the Pinto property Stadium the boys loved it, we played a cup game there last year and got hammered so it erased that memory. Hopefully this will be a good start to there league campaign and we maybe seeing future Worsbrough first team players
U17 v u18 preseason friendly
So as a way to help this years under 17's they played a match against last years under 17's we caught up with stuart the u17 manager It was a really tough test for us to be honest, the U18s showed us what we need to do to step up a level, we didn't react quickly enough at times and didn't adapt, they scored the same goal 4 or 5 times. Do you believe that the age gap was a factor by all accounts we played better than than the week before. We talked before the game about the 2 specific areas we wanted to see improvement and we did. It's always going to be playing lads older than them but
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
