Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 @Ovalteeny - I was searching for anything to do with Bedlington on the RootsChat forum and I came across this posting, Bedlington East End fc completed :- I have searched on all the local groups but I can't find anything about the team thomas1879 has posted info on. Have you found anything on them when you were searching the newspaper archives?🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalteeny Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 From the research that I did I can confirm that there was a football team called Bedlington East End FC. After trawling through all the local league tables (between 1946 & 1956) in the Blyth News/Morpeth Heralds available at Woodhorn Archives I can see that they played in the East Northumberland League from season 1951/52 through to 1955/56. At the same time there was also Bedlington Dr. Pit Welfare FC and also Bedlington Mechanics FC playing in leagues of a higher standard. However, I have not discovered any photos or indeed did I find any match reports or team selection, so I can't help with naming names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
