Brockham Badgers U16As played their last ever game for the club on Sunday, securing a win to sign off on a very successful 10 years with Badgers.
The win sees the team finish in third spot in the Surrey Youth League Premier Division, and was a fitting end for one of, if not the most, successful teams ever seen at Brockham Badgers. Not only did the team become the first ever Brockham side to reach the final of the Surrey County Cup, losing narrowly at Under 14 level to AFC Wimbledon, but the side competed at many years in the top Surrey youth league against some of the finest teams in the county and beyond, batting well above their village club, non selective status to mix it with academy-level teams.
Coach Simon Coffey said at the end of the game that it had been a privilege to coach the team, many of whom had been with him from Under 7 level, and that the team could be extremely proud of their exploits. Many of the team could now push on in to high level adult and Under 18 youth football as they enter the next chapter in their football development.
Needing a win to be sure of their third spot in the league, behind Farnborough Elite and Royals Elite, a club connected to Reading FC, Badgers went behind midway through the first half, but Brockham hit back within a minute through Mike Richardson to make it 1-1. Alex Nicholson then headed home a Matt Higgins free kick, before further goals from George Coffey and Nicholson made it 4-1. Ashford were always dangerous in attack, but even though they made it 4-2 with 15 minutes to go, Brockham were in control and a fifth goal from
Squad: Dennis Rapson, Connor Baker, Will Mahoney, Matt Higgins, Will Bletso, Alex Nicholson, Josh Brown, Ollie Winter , Mike Richardson, Gecco Navalta, Tom Ball, Harry Morland, George Coffey, Harry Ramsey
