| Club Notes |
Founded in 1878, Burnham F.C. is the second oldest club in
Buckinghamshire. They played, with considerable success, in
various leagues, before joining the Great Western Combination in
1948. They moved to the Wycombe Combination in 1964 and then
spent one season (1970/71) in the Reading Combination.
In 1971 the club were elected to the Hellenic League winning both
the Premier Division and League Cup in 1975/76. They were also
twice beaten finalists in the League Cup.
In 1977 the club were elected to the Athenian League and were
twice runners-up before the league folded in 1984.
We competed in the London Spartan League in 1984/85 winning both
the Premier Division title and the League Cup.
The summer of 1985 bought about the amalgamation of the football
club with Hillingdon Borough F.C. who had lost their ground and
were about to fold. They played in the Southern League as Burnham
& Hillingdon F.C. but reverted back to the former name of Burnham
F.C. in 1987. Season 1994/95 saw them finish bottom, resulting in
relegation back to the Hellenic League.
After 3 seasons in the Hellenic League finishing fifth, third, third in
1998/99 the club won both the Hellenic League Premier Division title
and the League Cup, thus gaining promotion back to the Southern Football League where we have played since.
In cup competitions Burnham reached the quarter-final of the
F.A.Vase in 1977/78 and the semi-final in 1982/83 losing over two
Legs 4-2 to Halesowen Town. In the home leg the clubs record
attendance of 2400 was achieved. We have twice reached the third
qualifying round of the F.A.Cup and in the F.A.Trophy reached the
the fourth round in 1999/2000 before losing to Scarborough in a
replay after a creditable 1-1 draw at The Gore. In the Berks &
Bucks Senior Cup we have reached the semi-final stage twice
before losing on both occasions to Chesham United.
The club have recently re-developed The Gore and now boast a fine
stadium. The new complex has a new stand, modern dressing rooms, club bars, offices and large banqueting and conference facilities all under the one roof.
The clubs reserve team play in the Suburban League and the youth
team play in the Allied Counties Youth League. |
