West Bergholt has hosted football since as far back as 1892 and officially joined the County Football Association, Division 2 in 1909. Nicknamed “the Brewers” after the local Daniell & Sons Brewery, where the team was originally formed. The Brewery may have gone but West Bergholt Football Club continues to survive with the current club forming in 1938/39 joining the Brightlingsea & District League.
