REFEREES GET CHRISTMAS BONUS
20 December 2009

Four young referees had a pleasant surprise when they were each presented with a cheque from a local company that sponsored them through their referee coaching. The generous donation came from the Dorking-based chartered surveyors and architects, Brodie Plant Goddard.

Badgers's Chairman Grant Ashley commented, “With an ever growing shortage of referees, we decided to use this money to put four of our older players, at the end of their youth football careers, through an intensive refereeing course which will help keep them involved with the club and continue their interest in football."

Grant added, "It’s great when a local company recognises the enormous community benefits from supporting a project or organisation in the area.  We are very grateful to Chris Bula and the other Directors of Brodie Plant Goddard."

GOING FOURTH
14 December 2009

Congratulations to the U14As who eased their way into the fourth round of the Surrey County Cup with a convincing home win over Chertsey Town Juniors.

It was also a good weekend for the U13s - the A team coming back from two goals down to beat Hampton & Richmond Borough 6-3, and the Bs cruising to a 5-0 win at Dorkinians.

There were victories for the U12As and the U11As, whilst the U15 Girls shared six goals - and the points - with Aldershot Town, keeping them well poised in third place, with two games in hand, in the the Surrey County Girls Division One.

TWO BAD
6 December 2009

Just three of thirteen fixture's survived this weekend's latest deluge - with, unfortunately, two of the games ending in narrow defeats.

The U13As faced top class opposition from Hampton & Richmond Borough Juniors in the Surrey County Cup - and, despite being edged out of the competition, they could come away with their heads held high.

In the Horsham & District League, there was disappointment for the U15As in a top-of-the-table clash with Storrington.But the U16As took full advantage of their first league fixture in a month, beating Copthorne 1-0 on the Big Field, to move out of the relegation places in the 'A' Division.
