HISTORY Dudley Employees Sports and
Social Club was founded in June 1979 from the ashes
of the Marsh and Baxter works team which had
competed for many years in local works leagues
before the parent company folded. In 1985 the new
club joined the Midland Combination,
initially in Division Two. Despite only finishing
ninth in the league, they were placed in Division
One for the following season, and were promoted to
the Premier Division in 1997, even though they had
only finished seventh. In 1999 Sports finished rock
bottom and were relegated back to Divison One, but
bounced back in 2003. In 2006 the step 5 leagues in
the West Midlands area underwent some re-organisation
and Sports were moved into the West Midlands
Regional League. The club operates teams in other
sports, including darts, bowls and even pigeon
racing |

neighbours Stourbridge. Head out toward Stourbridge

opposite turning for hospital.
HISTORY Dudley Town FC was founded in 1893,
and in 1898 incorporated another club from the town,
Dudley St Johns, moving onto the latter's ground at
Shavers End and entering the Birmingham League.
After World War I the club was dormant for a number
of years, but in 1928 it was re-formed and entered
the Cradley Heath and District League, before moving
on to the Worcestershire Combination. In 1932 the
club moved into the Sports Ground, which had been
built as part of a project to provide work for the
large number of unemployed men in the borough in the
inter-war years. Over 16,000 people attended the
opening match at what was to remain the Robins' home
for fifty years. In the early 1930s Dudley dominated
the Worcestershire Combination and soon moved up to
the more prestigious Birmingham League,
unfortunately the club could not bear the increased
financial strain and folded shortly before World War
II. After the war the club was resurrected and
progressed via the Birmingham Combination to rejoin
the Birmingham League, which in 1962 was re-named
the West Midlands Regional League. This was the
heyday of the club, with a number of successful
League campaigns, leading to admission to the
Southern League, as well as a memorable run to the
first round of the FA Cup, where they were drawn
against York City and held them to a draw at The
Sports Ground before losing 4-1 in a replay. There
was also substantial re-development of the ground
during this period, including the installation of
floodlights which were switched on by local hero
Billy Wright. Reportedly Wolves even turned down a
prestigious close season tour to allow Billy to
perform the ceremony. Unfortunately, shortly after
the club won promotion to the Southern League
Premier Division in 1984, the collapse of mine
workings under the adjacent cricket ground saw their
stadium closed down and condemned, forcing the club
to ground share with a number of different local
clubs. In 1988 the club moved to a new permanent
home at the Round Oak Stadium in Brierley Hill,
where they celebrated a successful centenary year,
however by 1996 the costs of the ground were
spiralling. The club officially moved out in 1996,
to a groundshare arrangement at the home of
Halesowen Town, with plans to sell Round Oak.
However, the proposed sale dragged on, and in 1997,
facing increasing financial difficulties, the club
was forced to resign its place in the Southern
League and close down. In late 1997, club president
Nevil Jeynes reformed the club and they were
accepted into the West Midlands (Regional) League,
exactly 100 years after they had first joined its
predecessor, the Birmingham League. After two years
ground sharing with local rivals Gornal Athletic,
the decision was taken to leave the borough of
Dudley and play at The Beeches, home of Tividale.
However, after a four year exile, Town returned to
the borough in 2003, having signed a deal to play
for the next five years at The War Memorial Ground,
Amblecote, Stourbridge. Nonetheless, the club still
plans to eventually return to a ground in the heart
of Dudley itself, and hopes to challenge for an
eventual return to the Southern League. |

HISTORY Ludlow Town F.C. based in
Ludlow, Shropshire, & were established in 1890,
joining the West Midlands Regional League Division
Two in 1978. Ludlow Town was founded in 1890 and
played on council grounds around the town until 1981
when they acquired their own facilities at The
Riddings Park. The club played in the South
Shropshire, North Herefordshire, Kidderminster and
Shropshire County Leagues until 1978 when their
success in local football was rewarded with
election to the West Midland (Regional) League
Division Two. In their debut season they won the
title to clinch promotion to Division One. The club
was mainly a mid-table side until 1990/91 when they
finished as runners-up in Division One to Cradley
Town, unfortunately they were denied
promotion as their ground did not come up to the
required standard. After ground improvements were
made, the club was elected into the newly formed
Premier Division
in 1994 and during their first season at that level
also reached the Premier League Cup Final and won
the Shropshire County Cup and the Presteigne Otway
Cup. In 1995 Town merged with local rivals Ludlow
Colts, as the town was proving unable to sustain two
clubs. In 2000 Les Bristow took over as manager and
led the club to the championship of the Premier
Division, dominating the division with just one loss
all season and 100 goals scored. This saw the club
promoted to the Midland Alliance, where they spent
four seasons before succumbing to relegation in
2005. During this time they also re-located to their
new ground, The SBS Stadium. |

HISTORY Tividale F.C. was formed in
1954 as the senior branch of Tividale Hall Youth
Club F.C and originally played in the Handsworth and
District League, before moving on to the
Warwickshire & West Midlands Alliance. In 1966 they
joined the newly formed West Midlands (Regional)
League Division One. In 1973 they gained promotion
to the Premier Division and remained there for
nearly 20 years, with a best-placed finish of 4th.In
1991 the club were relegated to Division One due to
no longer being able to meet the required ground
standards for the top division, and these events led
to a number of management and playing staff leaving
the club. New manager Terry Jones was able to turn
the club's fortunes around and in 1993 Tividale
finished second in Division One and won promotion
back into the Premier. Unfortunately in the same
year the Midland Alliance was formed, moving the
West Midlands League one step down the pyramid, so
in a sense the club had not advanced.Since their
return to the Premier Division Tividale have

its name in 1989. They gained entry to the West
Midlands Regional League in 1976 and won the
championship of Division One A in their first
season, followed by a runners-up position in
Division One the very next season, clinching
promotion to the Premier Division. In 1995/96 they
won the Premier Division title but were not
promoted, however the following year they repeated
their title success and this time moved up to the
Midland Alliance, where they remained for six
seasons before a last place finish in 2002/03 saw
them relegated back to the West Midlands League,
where they have struggled. In fact in 2004/05 they
finished bottom but were spared relegation. |

HISTORY The club was originally
formed in 1968 as a youth side, playing on a pitch
which had been loaned to them by a local farmer and
changing in the village hall. The founders were John
Perkins and Robert Morgan. The first league the club
entered was Division 3 of the Herefordshire Football
League. In 1978 the club moved to a new village
playing field and, following the building of new
wooden changing rooms in 1981, was invited into the
Herefordshire Premier Division. The club has won the
championship of this league on seven occasions, the
most recent three times by the reserve team
following the promotion up the pyramid of the first
team.In the mid-90s extensive improvement work was
carried out on the facilities at the Playing Fields
and, following a Herefordshire Premier League and
Cup double in 1996-97, the club successfully applied
to join the West Midlands Regional League. In their
second season they finished champions of Division 1
South and also won the League Cup, but were not
promoted to the Premier Division as their ground did
not yet meet the requirements for that level of
football. In 1999-2000 the team finished second and
retained the league cup and, following a fund
raising drive, further ground improvements were made
which allowed the club to be promoted to the Premier
Division where they remain to this day, achieving
their highest ever finish in 2004/05. |
