Our first game of the season is an away trip to Torrington FC, and we want to really get our first team off to a good start and have the crowd support them.

We hope to have a coach and are getting numbers together. We think we are nearly close enough to lay on the coach, and with a few more traveling, this will make it happen for sure. The team will travel with the supporters and officials, and it always makes it a really good day out for all.

SWPL side is out 1st team and that’s covered in statement. League commences in a couple of weeks and we are all good to go

Dorset leagues take new applications spring time each year. The statements clear in that we will aim to do things in a sustainable way. Much of that depends on the commitment and availability of players and volunteers. Many clubs are facing challenges with volunteers so if anyone is keen to help the club then please do come and have a chat.

Club Statement - Bridport FC Reserves Team 

Bridport Football Club can confirm, with great disappointment, that we have taken the difficult decision to withdraw our Men's Reserve Team from the Dorset Premier League ahead of the 2026/27 season.

This is not a decision that has been taken lightly. Following changes in the management team, combined with the increasing challenge of attracting and retaining enough local players to compete consistently at this highly competitive level, the club felt it was the right time to reset, refocus and rebuild with the long-term future of Bridport Football Club firmly in mind.

In recent seasons, a number of factors have made this increasingly difficult. The restructuring and changing make-up of football at Step 5 and above has intensified competition for local players, placing additional pressure on clubs like ours. As a community club, we believe it is important to make decisions that ensure we remain sustainable rather than overextending ourselves in the short term.

While this news is undoubtedly disappointing, there are many positives for the club and reasons to be optimistic about the future.

We are delighted to have launched a new Under-18s team this season, with a talented and committed group of young local players. We see this as the foundation of our future, creating a clear pathway into senior football and helping us develop players who are proud to represent Bridport.

Alongside this, we intend to establish a new reserve side in a Dorset league when the time is right again, providing valuable opportunities for emerging players to gain experience and progress towards the First Team. Building a sustainable player pathway is a priority, and this reset allows us to strengthen that approach.

Our First Team continues to have a strong core of committed players, whilst some of our talented players have stepped up to clubs in higher divisions; we are also excited to build on the foundation we have throughout the season ahead. We are also looking forward to another competitive campaign for our Women's Team as they compete in Division One of the Dorset Women's League.

Football is a game of highs and lows. Every club experiences challenging periods, and while this is one of those moments for Bridport Football Club, we firmly believe it also presents an opportunity to build stronger foundations for the future.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has supported our Reserve Team over the years—our players, management, volunteers, sponsors and loyal supporters. Your commitment to the club is greatly appreciated.

Now, more than ever, we ask our community to continue standing behind the club. The support of our volunteers, sponsors and supporters is vital as we rebuild and work towards an exciting new chapter for Bridport Football Club.

Chairman
