Shelleys Ices
Brockham Bonfire
A WEEKEND OF TWO HALVES!
On Saturday there
were winds and downpours....on Sunday it was suncream weather. But
one thing was constant.....Brockham 07 was played in a fantastic spirit,
with 1400 boys and girls from more than 160 teams engaging
in fun but competitive 6-a-side football.
The Tournament
Committee would like to thank all the players, managers, family
and friends who came to the Big Field to ensure our second annual
event, Brockham 07, was an enjoyable weekend - matching and exceeding
all expectations.
The club also wishes to thank all the Brockham
parents and older players who gave up so much time over
the weekend to ensure that our visitors experienced exceptional organisation
and officiating.
"It
was an amazing event."
"I only do one tournament each summer,
I will make yours it in the future."
"All the officials
were courteous, the refs were fair and there were all the facilities
we could ask for in a whole day event."
"It was wonderful
to see so many children playing organised sport in such a great environment.
Here's to next year!"

The
standard of football had improved with first rate, well-organised
teams competing hard, but playing fair. With teams having to
come through a qualifying group of five matches, followed by up
to three knock-out games, those who walked away with the trophies
could be proud of their achievements. Click the picture on the right

Finally....thanks
to the main event sponsor, Horizon Data Management, and all the other
businesses who supported Brockham 07 so generously - including Elliott
Jones Catering and the Brockham Bonfire Team, who provided top quality
refreshment, and Fulham FC who observed the action, ran the Speed
Cage and even brought Billy the Badger!
