[edit] History
Bridgnorth Town joined the Worcestershire Combination in 1938, but only managed one season of play before the league disbanded due to World War II. Records are unclear as to where they played after the war, but in 1968 they rejoined the league, now called the Midland Football Combination. They were runners-up in 1976-77 and 1980-81 and champions in both 1979-80 and 1982-83, their second title enabling them to step up to the Southern League, where they played for over a decade but rarely finished above mid-table. In 1995-96 they finished bottom and were relegated to the Midland Football Alliance. Again, they were generally a mid-table team until 2004-05 when they finished bottom and returned to the Midland Combination after more than 20 years. However, after just one season in the Combination, a re-organisation of the Step 6 leagues in the region saw them moved into the West Midlands Regional League, where they were Premier Division champions in the 2007-08 season.
