Football returns to the Birchington Memorial Recreation Ground
On Saturday, 14th September 2024, we witnessed a historic occasion as football matches returned to the Birchington Memorial Recreation Ground (BMRG) after an absence of over 10 years. Our new home under 14 football team, River Sports, had a resounding victory over their opponents Canterbury Colts.
The return of football has generated a lot of interest from other clubs who want to play at the BMRG which can only be good for the village .
To get to the stage of holding football matches has involved much hard work, time and commitment from our Parish Councillors, volunteers and contractors. This included preparing the pitch, cutting the grass, disposing of waste, marking out the pitches and car park and installing a compound to store equipment. Thank you to Brian Faulkner and Dave Wall for giving up a lot of their time especially at weekends to ensure the ground was ready, plus Connor O’Reilly of Corworks, Parish Councillors Max Houghton and John Tiley who led on the project and who were ably supported by Councillors Neville Hudson and Jim Moore.
