"Wow! What a triumph! Brockham’08 was fantastic! Thank you to you and the team. We had a great day as a family, the organisation was slick, matches were on time and the whole event had a friendly feel about it. These events form part of our kids’ happy childhood memories..."

Just one of the many messages received from managers and parents a day after the final whistle blew at Brockham 08. Our third annual tournament was widely declared the biggest and best yet.

A staggering 192 teams with over 1500 young footballers, including a girls' team from as far afield as Berlin, took part in a weekend of fantastic football, fair but competitive play...and, against all the forecasts, two days of sunshine. Teams entered into the European Championship spirit, with flags and faces painted - and some choosing to wear the shirts of their 'adopted country'. An estimated 3000 spectators also enjoyed the spectacle on Brockham's Big Field, a National Trust site nestling at the foot of the North Downs.

Besides the football, players and their families could enjoy the Brockham Bonfire BBQ, healthy eating options from the Elliott Jones Deli-Bar, the Fulham FC Speed Cage, free sessions with Little Kickers and a visit from the Surrey Air Ambulance - amongst much more activity.

The Tournament Committee would like to thank everyone who came to play or to watch, everyone in Brockham who helped, our principal sponsor Horizon Data Management and all the local businesses who supported Brockham 08.
