Many thanks to all the players, managers and parents who got in touch in the days after the tournament. Here is just a selection of the many comments received from teams who competed at Brockham 08:

"I must say I have heard a lot about your tournament and it lived up to all our expectations. It was fantastic ‐ by far the best we have been to."
AFC Wimbledon

"As this was our 3rd successive year playing your tournament, all I can say is it simply gets better and better!"
Corinthian Casuals

"Just to say, I was blown away today by how well run the whole event was - best in class and a tournament never to be missed. Must also complement all the referees in show today for their sense of fair play and humour, which always helps developing youth football."
Hearts FC

"We all had a lovely time and the boys really enjoyed it. The organisation was brilliant ‐ the best I have been to! Put our names down for the under 9's next year!"
East Grinstead Town

"The schedule ran smoothly, the team spirit was alive, and it was great to be part of the quality football being played."
Broadbridge Heath JFC

"Your tournament is really professionally run. The pre‐tournament process is great and even though it is the dearest tournament to enter, when you take
into mind NO entry fee, and the free activities for the children it makes it one
of the cheapest tournaments around. The facilities are one of the best. I like the all day feeling. The pitch sizes and quality are unbeaten and the amount of
match play time is perfect."
Cheam Rangers

"Our club has competed at a number of tournaments during the last couple of months (all well run), but the Brockham 08 event has to go to the top of the list. The organisation, the venue, car parking, and catering facilities were all first class, with tournament officials happy to be of assistance at all times. Please book us in for Brockham 09!"
Maidenbower United

"Thank you for a great day, both boys and parents thought it was a fantastic tournament. Sorry we beat Brockham in the semi’s! Hope to see you next year."
Rainham Eagles

"Congratulations on yet another fantastic tournament. Despite my teams’ results, we thoroughly enjoyed the tournament and will be back next year!"
NPL Youth

"I was there both days, one in my capacity as coach of Maidenbower Colts and the following day as a parent cheering on his daughter in the under 13s, and I have to thank you for what is quite clearly the best organised six a side tournament that I have attended. From the distribution of car park tickets a
couple of weeks in advance to the signing out at the end of the tournament, it was superbly run and a pleasure to participate."

"Brockham's Tournament is something else."
Brockham Residents

"We at Ashington Cougars had several teams take part and everybody couldn't have enjoyed themselves more. A brilliant day which was so well organised and above all friendly."
Ashington Cougars

"Our players had a smashing time and although unfortunate not to progress from the group, played well and enjoyed the off pitch activities as well as the football."
Tadworth

"In my younger days I was lucky to have played in a team where many went on to the pro game and as such, when representing Greater Manchester, my team travelled nationwide to events to compete, and as a coach I have over the last two seasons been to a dozen or so events. You should be
immensely proud of the event you directed, it was the best in every way I have ever been to. The organisation was first class, the emphasis on the fair play was excellent as I felt coaches made a point of instilling that into the boys and girls as there was the Fair Play trophy up for grabs. Thanks to all
involved. All of my boys had a great time."
