The excellent Bilbrook programme for the 2007/08 season.
Worth the admission price in its own right. Very professional colourful cover and packed with up to date results, match reports and a page for the manager, coach and caprtain to have their say at recent events at the club. Has to be one of the best programmes in the West Midlands League - Division One this season. Also has future fixtures, including league cup and county cup matches and an up to date league table. Free on admission, £1.50 each for extra copies, but worth the money.
Bilbrook Football Club were formed in 2003 by Andy Brindley. They describe their first season in the West Midlands (Regional) League Division One North as 'a baptism of fire'. They finished the season bottom of the pile but had played well in their last few games and were optimistic about the following season's campaign.

Bilbrook play on the old home ground of Wombourne Hockey Club, the venue was also used by Wolverhampton Wanderers as a training ground in the 1980s.
That following season the West Midlands League reorganised and Bilbrook found themselves competing in Division Two, finishing in a respectable mid-table position. They also reached the Division Two League Cup final losing to Ellesmere Rangers.
The 2005/06 was Bilbrook's most successful season gaining promotion to Division One. The 2006/07 season seeing the club consolidate their Division One status with a mid-table finish.
At the end of last season, founder and club manger, Andy Brindley swapped places with Chairman Ian Jeffs-Watts due to increasing work commitments.
This season started well for Bilbrook with three wins and a draw in their first four games. The August bank holiday fixtures saw Bilbrook lose twice and just to make matters worse they also lost the three points for their win against Hinton who withdraw from the league. This was the start of a poor run of form which sees the club currently in the bottom half of Division One of the West Midlands League.
