Senior Men
The Seniors backed up the Reserves with an impressive second-half performance to defeat Bracknell 99 to 49.
The match was made even more meaningful as both clubs came together to honour Brett Jordan through the Brett Jordan Memorial Trophy.
Brett’s association with the Parrots began more than 15 years ago when his boys, Isaac and Daniel, started their football journey at the club. Brett quickly became a valued and much-loved figure around Bridgenorth, always one of the first to put his hand up to help wherever needed. One of his favourite roles was goal umpiring the Under 18s games, where his passion for the club and support for the players was always evident.
Bridgenorth was incredibly proud to play in honour of such a respected member of both football clubs.
It was a tightly contested opening half, with Bracknell taking a narrow 35 to 32 lead into the main break. However, whatever was said at halftime by coach Zach Griffiths clearly worked, as the Parrots came out with renewed intensity and completely took control of the contest.
Bridgenorth surged ahead to lead 66 to 48 at three-quarter time before finishing strongly to secure an impressive 50-point turnaround victory.
