Welcome to the home of Bridgwater Grasshoppers FC

Originally formed in the early eighties, this famous Bridgwater & District Sunday League club has undergone many transformations over the years, beginning with humble aspirations and, like a shooting star, shining brightly for a few brief seasons in the top flight during the late nineties before eventually fizzling out at the turn of the century. However, thanks to a consortium of former players from the early nineties, the club was resurrected for the beginning of the 2004-05 season and wasted no time in restoring the club's original reputation for fair play and reasonably attractive football, played in a good spirit and with a sense of camaraderie - more like a rugby club than the customary bunch of bickering prima donna footballers.

Following a successful first season the club quickly grew even further and, with the advent of the 2005-06 season, a second side was created. Following a ruling that both teams were to compete against each other in the same division of the Uxella League the decision was taken to run Grasshoppers '04 as a predominantly youth-oriented side that would lay the foundations for the future success of the club while Grasshoppers '05 would be firmly focused on the present, consisting of a strong squad of experienced Sunday League performers.

The 2006-07 season then brought another league rule change which saw the Hoppers have their rapidly maturing '04 youth team promoted to the First Division as the emphasis changed from two separate sides to the more traditional first and reserves arrangement. The current challenge is to make both sides effective in their respective divisions.
