Worcester City F.C.

Worcester City Football Club is an English football club based in Worcester, Worcestershire. From 2017–18 the club will participate in the Midland Football League, the ninth tier of English football. Established in 1902, they have spent the majority of their history in non-league football. They currently play at Victoria Ground, home to Bromsgrove Sporting, after leaving St George's Lane in 2013.HistoryThe club was formed on 9 September 1902 when, following the liquidation of another local side, Berwick Rangers, Worcester Rovers amalgamated taking the present name of Worcester City F. C. taking over Berwick's fixture list in the Birmingham & District League. Initially they played on Pitchcroft on an enclosed area called Severn Terrace (behind the modern day Swan Theatre). They played there until the start of the 1905 season. It was in 1905 that they reached the first round of the FA Cup, losing 6–0 at home to Watford. In 1924–25 they won the league for the first time, and the following season reached the FA Cup first round again, losing 2–0 to Kettering Town in a second replay at St Andrew's. The club won back-to-back league titles in 1928–29 and 1929–30, also reaching the FA Cup first round in the former, losing 3–1 at Walsall.
