Open top bus tour around Burnham-On-Sea for victorious football team!

A local football team celebrated the successful end of their season with an open top bus tour around Burnham-On-Sea on Saturday evening (May 19th).

Berrow Under Nines won the North Somerset Mini League and also the League Cup in their first ever competitive season of football.

Delighted team manager Jon Harding told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It's been a great season. They've done so well and really deserve this tour around town."

With the young players cheering from the top deck, holding their trophies, the bus started at the Frank Foley Parkway before heading through town and along Burnham seafront.

Over the course of the season, the team played 34 games and won 29, drew four and lost just one. They scored 147 goals and conceded just 19.

"After playing together over the past two years, the team has developed into a very strong squad with a great sense of team spirit and commitment," added Mr Harding.

Organisers thanked Cheddar Caves for providing the bus for the evening, plus the team's sponsors, R & J Plumbing & Heating Engineers and Autodent.

After Saturday's tour, the team went on to the Farmer's Tavern at Brean for Berrow Boys' annual Presentation Night.
