Bristol Manor Farm F.C. is an English football team who play in the Western Football League. They play their home games at The Creek, Bristol. The club is affiliated to the Somerset County FA and Gloucestershire County FA.
As the 2009-10 season approached, John Black made several new summer signings, and after some good early form in the league, his side progressed to the First Qualifying Round of the season's FA Cup, before losing 4-0 at Hungerford Town. The team enjoyed more success in the FA Vase, as they reached the Fourth Round Proper, beating Corsham Town and Saltash United 2-1, and Peacehaven & Telscombe 3-0, before eventually losing 3-1 at home to Whitehawk. Following that, Manor Farm progressed into third place by March 2010, but several results elsewhere went against them, so they slipped down to 8th. Bristol Manor Farm rounded off their season with a fine 3-0 win at Sherborne Town, therefore finishing in a creditable seventh place.
