Christ Church Beckenham's football team originated in the late 1970s and in 1980 they joined the newly-formed Bromley + Croydon Christian League. They are one of only two teams from those early days still taking part today.
The team has enjoyed great success over the years in both the league and it's cup competition. The team won Division 2 in 1989/90 and the following season won Division 1 at the first attempt. Cup wins followed in 1993 and 1995 to make up for three previous defeats in the final. We have won the league's sportsmanship trophy on several occasions over the years, most recently in 2005/6 which was our first silverware in seven years!
The team are currently in Division 3 of the BCCL, which is an FA-affiliated league for church-based sides in the local area. There is a great emphasis on fair play. Players do not have to be church-goers but all players respect the Christian aspect of the league, which (most of the time!) leads to enjoyable football for players, officials and spectators alike. |
