It's that time of year again… players with minimal experience at Step 7 or u18s asking for Step 4/5. The best thing about football is playing football. Play, develop, dominate your level, if you’re good enough, the game moves you up the leagues. ⚽️

[Gary Russell @GRR1826]

Good end to the season with @Bridon1935 firsts had an up and down since coming in but got the job done thanks to @uche_ibemere Mike and everyone at Bridon putting the effort in and keeping us up. Next season watch this space big thing coming 👊👊

[Regista Football @registaballs]

Cheap footballs are the most expensive decision a club can make. 🚩

Because it’s never just one purchase…

It is balls going soft after a few weeks.
Panels splitting mid season.
Constant re orders.
Money wasted… again and again.

By the time you’ve replaced them, you have already paid more than if you would bought properly once.

That’s the real cost.

Regista solves that problem.

We’ve built three levels for performance and progression:

⚫ Training Ball
⚪⚽ Match Ball (White / Gold)

Same identity. Different performance tiers.
All built for durability and consistency across the season.

✅ Pro-grade materials
✅ Match & training performance
✅ Built for 90 minutes + 500 hours of training

Next season starts in the kit bag. ⚽️

GIVEAWAY TIME 🎁

We’re giving away a FREE Regista V1 football to show the quality in real use.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Uche Ibemere as our new First Team Manager.

Uche is a familiar and trusted figure at Bridon, with a strong understanding of the club, its values and what it means to represent the badge.

His experience and steady leadership will be vital as we look to build momentum in the second half of the season.

He will take charge of training this week, with his first match in the dugout coming at home this Saturday 24th Jan v Croydon FC in our @SCEFLeague division one fixture.

Please join us in welcoming Uche back to Bridon Ropes FC.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for the son of Non League legend Paul Lorraine, following a freak accident. If you’re able to donate it would mean a lot to the family. If not a share would go a long way.
