Our visitors - Bishops Lydeard Bishops Lydeard Association Football Club is an FA Charter Standard Community Club, that has a well-established youth section, senior section and girls/women’s section with over 350 participants The football club playing fields and clubhouse are located in the rural village of Bishops Lydeard, five miles north-west of Taunton, Somerset.

The club is over 100 years old and has developed into one of the largest clubs in the South West.

Having played at various venues in the village it is now firmly entrenched at Darby Way. Due to the growth of the club, youth, ladies, and extra men’s sides, we had to expand our facilities in 1999 and now play on Morris Meadow, kindly rented to us by Mr. Morris.

This is the field beside the main pitch.

We also use the adjoining field, Glanfield Meadow – named after Mr. Glanfield who kindly sold us the land when he stepped away from farming.

In 1998 the adult and youth section joined forces to become one club. This held many advantages which you will see today when visiting the club. What was once a men’s side, and the odd youth team run by an adult for the village kids has developed into football for the community at all ages and genders.

The senior side of the club has a very successful Ladies section which has been led by Julie Bowker since it was formed in 2001. We now have two ladies teams; the Firsts playing in the South West Women’s Football League and the Reserves in Somerset County Women’s League. The adult men’s teams are headed by the First team who gained promotion in 2016 to the Western League following a Winner takes all game against Nailsea and Tickenham to finish Champions of the Somerset Senior Premier League; there is also a Reserve Team which has just been promoited to the Somerset County League after winning the Taunton & District Saturday League First Division and a Colts team that play in Division 2 of the Taunton & District Saturday League.

In 2008 the clubs dream of developing an all-purpose club house to replace its ‘Shack’ was made in to reality when Iain Hunter formally announced that he had achieved the funding required to start the build after 5 years of meetings, fund raising and form filling.

In January 2009 the whole club celebrated along with Iain when the then England under 21 coach Stuart Pearce arrived at the club to formally cut the ribbon.

The philosophy of the club is to provide a safe and fun environment for the youth to train, practice, express themselves and play football. The same principle is applied to the adult section with one overriding difference – push players to play at the highest level they can achieve. This undoubtedly means that BLAFC will ultimately lose players to a higher standard of football until we can match the level, something that is a constant topic of conversation on a Saturday afternoons for the faithful.

In 2016 planning permission was granted for the erection of floodlights which were promptly installed to enable the First Team to step into Western League Football. Those that visit the club frequently will notice a lot of development work has taken place to achieve the stringent ground grading. The pitch has been widened, new dug-outs purchased and a path has been made around the perimeter of the pitch. The stand was erected as part of the requirement for Western League Football, which further enhances the ground and the clubs determination to progress.

In its first season in Western League Division One, the team worked hard to achieve a creditable 6th place finish, in the 2017/18 season the team finished 14th. In 2018/19 a 12th place position was secured after a down and up season! And so we move on......
