Berwick Rangers Football Club at Shielfield - Guided Tour

Berwick Rangers Football Club was formed in 1881 when an enthusiastic group of players, led by local businessman and town councillor Peter Cowe, came together regularly on an informal basis for training on the Bull Stob Close pitch before getting their first taste of competitive action with home and away matches against Alnwick, both of which ended in draws. The club was officially constituted as “Berwick Rangers Football Club (Association)” in early 1884.

Known as the Black and Gold Army, the team has played at their present ground since 1954. They had previously played at Bull Stob Close and Old Shielfield Park which was nearby.
