Bramham FC

|
Bramham FC is a club with a long and interesting
history. After a short period of time in the footballing abyss, your
local club has re-formed and is looking to build a successful and
stable future. Bramham now boasts two Saturday sides, both of which
compete in the Harrogate and district leagues. This development has
added an important vibrancy back to the village, particularly on
Saturday afternoon and evenings.
People around our local region are talking about
Bramham football again, as the club begins to re-build its reputation.
Even in its first season for several years, there is a real sense of
team spirit and friendship between players across a wide age range,
many of whom travel from Tadcaster to represent our Village with
pride. Even West Yorkshire league sides are taking notice of little
Bramham, especially since the first team put out the likes of Cartiers,
(Selby) and Selby Town Academy to reach the final of one of the
biggest tournaments in the area, the Barkston Ash Trophy. We now face
Sherburn in the final to be played at Tadcaster Albion’s ground on
Easter Monday. The first team are unbeaten so far this season, (as
late Jan), in all league and cup games, which is a significant
achievement.
Much recognition should be given to the people
involved in the running of the club, which is based at the White Horse
Public House and which now has representation at some parish council
meetings. The profile of the club deserves to be improved within the
village.
If any fellow Bramhamers feel like becoming more
involved, their support and interest would be most welcome.

BRAMHAM FOOTBALL CLUB
Monday 28th March 2005,
Lee Appleyard proudly raises the Barkston Ash
Challenge Cup to the hoards of Bramham fans.
NO, its not a dream
Bramham 2, - Sherburn White Rose 1.
For the first time in our history we are victorious
in this most prestigious of cup competitions.
Captain Lee Appleyard led his troops by example,
turning in a performance which earned him the “Man of the Match
Award”.
Jason Wright’s second half penalty added to a first half own goal was
enough to overcome the previously undefeated Sherburn side
This momentous day was made so special by the many,
many fans who supported us; male, female, young and old. We would like
to thank you all.
Trophy No 2, The Alverton Charities was won on
Saturday 9th April.
A Jason Wright brace and a third from Mark Hick saw us through to a
relatively comfortable win.
Still undefeated in the league and two more
semi-finals pending, hopes are very high for more silverware to be
brought home by the 1st team.
Reserves
Unfortunately, the reserves couldn’t match the 1st
team, losing their divisional cup final 7-6 on penalties after extra
time. A Matthew Oates goal took the game to extra time, but no matter
what we did we just couldn’t find a winner. Dave Jacklyn’s charges are
now looking forward to a short rest before it all starts again next
season.
Juniors
The Junior section have submitted applications to
the various leagues, we are hoping they will be competing in next
season. We have got one sponsor so far, but we still need several
others. So if you are in a position to help, please do so, by
contacting Mick Fox, who will be only too happy to hear from you.
Mick has information on all remaining games etc, so
if there is anything you want to know just give him a call (541341).
