History

The club was established in 1978 by a merger of Bewdley Old Boys and Woodcolliers.[1] They joined the Kidderminster & District League, where they played until joining Division One South of the West Midlands (Regional) League in 1999.[1][2] The club were Division One South runners-up in 2001–02 and champions the following season, but were not able to take promotion.

League reorganisation saw Bewdley played in Division One for the 2004–05 season and they went on to win the division, taking promotion to the Premier Division after agreeing a groundshare with Stourport Swifts.[1] In 2010–11 the club won the Worcestershire Senior Urn, beating Studley 2–1 in the final.[1] They retained the Urn the following season, beating Alvechurch 3–2 in the final.[1]

Ground

The club initially played at Gardeners Meadow, which had been the home ground of both Bewdley Old Boys and Woodcolliers.[1] However, after it was sold for housing, the club temporarily moved to Kidderminster before purchasing land to build the Ribbesford Meadow Ground.[1] They were forced to groundshare with Stourport Swifts for the 2005–06 season in order to take promotion to the Premier Division, but returned to Ribbesford Meadow the following season after building a 140-seat stand and erecting floodlights.[3]
