BISHOP SUTTON F.C.

The club was re-formed in 1977 with just an U15 team playing in the
Weston-super- Mare Sunday League and then progressing in successive
seasons to the Bristol and Avon League U16s and the second and first
divisions before being admitted into the Somerset Senior League for the
1981-82 season.

The next ten years were spent climbing through the four divisions before
being voted into the Western League for season 1991-92.

The First Division was won in 1997-98 and then followed seventeen
successive seasons in the Premier Division, the highlight being winning
the Premier title in 2012-13.

Unfortunately, our ground grading did not permit progression to the
Southern League and all the team management and players then left the
club.

Relegation from the Premier followed at the end of season 2014-15 and
we have experienced mixed fortunes in the First Division since then.

For the season 2020-21 Jon Toy came in as manager but unfortunately,
we were only able to play 10 games before the season was curtailed due
to the COVID 19 pandemic. We were able to finish mid table in the 21-22
and 22-23 season.

The start of the 23-24 season sees us begin another rebuild with Catalin
Andrei coming in as manager.
