Bedlington
FOOTBALL CLUB
Bedlington Football Club was originally formed in 2017 following
the successful merger of Bedlington Town FC, Bedlington Juniors
and Hazelmere United. Their first team currently competes in
Division 1 of the Northern Football Alliance and are led by
Chairman Michael Quigley who is supported by Secretary Karl
Porter. The club is looking to progress under their guidance.
Bedlington FC is committed to playing an important role in
their local community and state on their official website www.
bedlingtonfc.org that their aim is to, “Provide an experience of
being able to participate in sport, where inclusion is at the heart
of what we represent and where girls, boys, men and women
play under the same ethos. It is where friendships are created
between players and parents alike, in a safe and enjoyable
environment.”
So far this season their men’s first team has been enjoying
a positive league campaign, putting together a record of ten
wins, one draw and four defeats from their fifteen matches.
This sees them sitting in the top half of the table with thirty-one
points on the board.
This should provide the club with a fine platform from
which to build as they prepare for 2019. As long as they are
able to retain their current group of players and can perhaps
make one or two quality additions they should be in with a
good chance of pushing on up the league.
One of the highlights of the team’s performances so far this
season has been the attacking brand of football that they have
been able to produce. This has been reflected by the fact that
they have found the back of the net 44 times at a rate of nearly
three per game.
This will certainly have meant that any supporters
attending their matches will have been well entertained and
should encourage more of the local community to get behind
