Brockham 09, Brockham Badgers' fourth annual open youth football tournament, is less than a month away.

Once again we're getting ready to welcome nearly 200 teams and more than 1500 players, boys and girls, to the Big Field for this year's event - on 13th and 14th June.

The tournament sold out in record time - and now the hard work begins to ensure an unforgettable weekend for everone who visits Brockham.

Brockham 09 is our major fundraiser for the year. In recent seasons it has enabled us to keep club subscriptions low whilst, at the same time, vastly improving our coaching for players - with new equipment, a major three-year professional coaching plan, and the engagement of a goalkeeping coach from Fulham FC's Academy.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The Tournament only works through the voluntary help of parents. This year, we're asking EVERY Brockham parent with a boy or girl in the club to give us just one hour each of their time. If everybody agrees to do that, we can fill up all our rotas for running the event - and everyone still gets to see their sons and daughters take part in our special weekend.

If you haven't yet signed up for a shift helping out, please click here to email the website with your details and preferred day. Let us know if you're offering to help for one hour, or if you're prepared to do a little more. One of our Tournament Committee will get back to you.

You can read more about the tournament here. Thanks in advance for helping make Brockham 09 our best event yet!

After six years together, the U16Bs have ended their career as Badgers in the finest possible style. Not just with a win - but with a league championship too.

Needing just a point to become Horsham 'C' Division winners, Martin Bangs' team signed off in style with a victory at Ashington Cougars. Congratulations on all your effort over the years in the club.

Meanwhile, the U12As ended thier first season in the Surrey Youth League with a 4-2 home victory, rounding off a year that has seen them promoted as Champions to the Premier North Division for next season.

And the traditional Brockham Badgers end-of-season scratch tournament took place on Bank Holiday Monday - the Annual Friend and Family 5-a-side Fun Day. The weather wasn't up to much, but the football and the atmosphere were fantastic as almost 250 boys and girls took part from U7s to U16s - one of our biggest ever turn-outs for the day.

Congratulations to all who played and many thanks to organiser Alison Robins, as well as all the parents who helped with another smooth-running event.
