Local clubs like Clevedon Town and Portishead, who won Division 1 this year, also play in the league which has seen some of the biggest clubs in the country play in it over the course of it’s 132 year history.

The sponsorship was announced at the opening of the new Jewson Bridgwater branch, which took place on May 28.

The Western Football League’s chairman, John Pool, officially opened the branch with a ribbon cutting, and several players from Bridgwater United FC attended the event.

Andy Jordan, Regional Managing Director for Jewson South West, said: “The Western Football League is steeped in history, and we know many of our customers support the teams within it, whether as casual fans or committed followers.

“When the opportunity arose to become part of that community, we jumped at the chance.

“Many of our Jewson colleagues also have affiliations to football clubs in this part of the country, making it even more important to us.

“We’re excited to become part of the Western Football League’s story and look forward to enjoying lots of exhilarating matches together in the future.”

Jewson is proud to partner the trades, building on its 180+ years of industry experience, offering the UK’s professional tradespeople the products and services they need to work smarter and grow their business faster, powered by a robust sourcing network and distribution platform.
