A Cup Final Preview of Brampton Rovers FC

Brampton Rovers was established in 1966 with just a men’s team. They now have over 22 teams and accommodate boys, girls, women's and men's teams playing in 6 different leagues. They also run a Saturday morning club for boys and girls from aged 4 to 12 years and a specialised Goalkeeping School.
Brampton Rovers main home ground is the old Newbold Green School site where they have 4 pitches and hold the Saturday morning club. Over the last few years they have raised funds to erect a fence around the site and purchase their own mower. They are now looking at raising over £100k to help build a clubhouse to accommodate changing rooms, function room and proper toilet facilities ( sponsors and volunteers are being sought to help raise funds to be able to achieve this over the next few years ).
Thanks are given to Gavin Brown and his staff at The Barrel in Brampton; Santi Perez of Global Brands for sponsoring the kit; and Steve Ward, Mantlepiece Fireplaces, Chatsworth Rd., for sponsoring the training jackets
