Burnham Ramblers
FOOTBALL CLUB
Burnham Ramblers FC is based on Springfield Road in Essex and their first team currently
competes in the Eastern Counties First Division South. They are led by the team of President
Nigel Radcliffe and Chair Martin Leno and the club is looking to progress under their guidance.
This season they have put together
a steady league campaign, having
compiled a record of thirteen wins, six
draws and sixteen defeats from their
thirty-five matches. This sees them
sitting in a safe mid-table position with
forty-five points on the board.
This should provide them with a
solid platform from which to build as
they head into the off-season. As long
as they are able to retain their current
group of players and can perhaps make
one or two quality additions they should
be in with a good chance of pushing on
in the league in the 2019-20 season.
One of the highlights of the team’s
performances this season has been the
attacking brand of football that they
have been able to produce. This has been
reflected by the fact that they have found
the back of the net 63 times in the league
alone at a rate of nearly two per game.
This will certainly have meant that
any supporters attending their matches
will have been well entertained and
should encourage more of the local
community to get behind the side in the
future. This in turn has the potential to
provide them with a valuable source of
additional revenue which is particularly
important in the current financial
climate.
Burnham Ramblers also has a
thriving youth set up in place. This part of
the club looks to provide young players
from the local area with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable
environment whilst helping them to
reach their full potential.
It is important for any club looking
to be successful over a sustained period
of time to be able to produce their own
talent and this is an area they appear to
have covered. It will certainly be exciting
to see how their youngsters can progress
over the coming years.
In order to help make sure that they
enjoy a smooth transition into the senior
game they also run a reserve side. This
allows them to gain experience of adult
level football even if they are not yet
considered ready for first team action
which can be an important step in the
development process.
Another benefit of having an extra
side is that it allows the first XI to benefit
from far greater strength in depth. If they
are ever left short on numbers through
injury or work commitments they have
the option of calling up replacements
with a limited amount of disruption.
There is much to admire about the
fine set up that Burnham Ramblers FC
currently has in place and this is thanks
to all of the hard work that goes into the
club. If they continue in the same manner
then a bright future should lie ahead.
“After being local for thirty-one years I decided to support a great local
football club. Customers that come into the shop always speak highly of
the club – keep up the good work, pushing for the play offs!”
