AWARDS DAY PICTURES ONLINE
29 May 2010

The new look Annual Awards Day was a roaring success for Brockham Badgers - regardless of who went home with the trophies.

On a sun-baked Big Field, hundreds of players, family and friends enjoyed an afternoon of football-related activity with picnics and a hog roast. The day culminated in the presentation of the annual awards for players in every team on our tournament podium.

Congratulations to Fiona Rabbetts and the Events Team. It was their second event - and a a second major achievement. Over 150 pictures are now available on the Brockham Badgers Flickr site here. Thanks to everyone who helped out, and to U13's Dad Alan Gout for the photography.

Next up, it's the Big One - Brockham 2010 on 12th and 13th June. See you there!

HEADS HELD HIGH
9 May 2010

The U14As had a day to remember with pride as they became the first Brockham side to contest the final of the Surrey County Cup.

They faced one of the top grassroots youth sides in the country, AFC Wimbledon. And although there was to be no silverware, the Badgers came away with their heads held high after taking the lead and contesting a match that ended in a 3-1 win for Wimbledon, who completed their second successive treble.

For a village-based team to be competing in Surrey's top cup final against an elite club was a fantastic achievement and the boys can take pride in going further in the competition than any Brockham team in the club's thirty year history.

Meanwhile, the U10As added to their Tadworth League title by winning the annual St Paul's Tournament in Dorking.

THANK YOU
4 May 2010

Thank you to the many parents, friends and family members who helped out so readily on Bank Holiday Monday. Despite the weather, you put on one of the most successful 5-a-side Fun Days we can remember. A record number of boys and girls took part - with 260 players from U7 to U17 enjoying the traditional friendly sporting atmosphere of this unique scratch tournament.

Thanks again to everyone who helped - and especially to the Events Reps, led by Fiona Rabbetts, staging their first event since the new team was formed at the start of the year.

There are two more, major events to come this season - our new Awards Family Day and our fifth annual open tournament, Brockham 2010. Details here.

BADGERS' BIGGEST EVER GAME
4 May 2010

A Brockham team will make history this coming weekend, when they become the first Badgers ever to play in the prestigious Surrey County Cup Final.

Simon Coffey's U14As (pictured above) have gatecrashed the climax of the elite youth football season in Surrey, following an astonishing cup run that has seen them knock out teams like Hampton and Richmond Borough and Kingstonian. They now face an even more stern test - as AFC Wimbledon await in the Final.

The match takes place at 11am on Sunday 9th May at Chpstead FC, High Road, Chipstead CR5 3SF. Click here for a map.

Parents from all age groups, and all other local people, are invited to come along and cheer Brockham in this historic day for the club.

HIGHS AND HEARTBREAK
26 April 2010

The Badgers experienced the highs and the heartbreak of football this weekend. After two defeats in Cup Finals in the past three years, the U15As had high hopes of making it third time lucky as they took on Copthorne in this year's Plate Final. It was a close-run thing as the game ended all-square at the end of normal time. Twenty minutes of extra time ensued and, unfortunately it wasn't to be Brockham's day. Click here for a full report.

Meanwhile the U14As returned to winning ways (pictured above) - playing two Surrey Youth League matches on successive days and coming home with four points.

Meanwhile, as league programmes come to an end, tournament season has got underway. And it's got off to a fine start for the U13Bs (pictured above) - who took part in the Ewhurst Tournament and won it - unbeaten for the second year running.

It's been quite a season for the U13Bs. Not only have they won in Ewhust, but they were promoted as champions in the Horsham and District League, have seen two players (Justin Tarrant and Jack Coppin) play regularly for the A team, whilst Alex Clarke has been signed for Brighton & Hove Albion's Centre of Excellence. Such success is a tribute to the enthusiasm and dedication of the boys and manager, Jason Hughes.
