Bramley Sunnyside JFC U9s crowned Filey champions

A GROUP of young footballers from Bramley have been celebrating a fantastic achievement after being crowned champions at a recent tournament in Filey.

Bramley Sunnyside JFC U9s, made up of 12 players and supported by 12 families, enjoyed an unforgettable weekend both on and off the pitch — showing outstanding teamwork, resilience and spirit throughout the competition.

Playing in tough coastal conditions, the team impressed from the very first whistle, going unbeaten across the entire tournament. Their determination and togetherness were evident in every match, with the players working tirelessly for one another and producing some excellent football.

Coaches praised not only the players’ ability, but also their character, highlighting the resilience shown after Saturday’s result and the way the group stuck together throughout the weekend.

The support from family and friends also played a big part, creating a fantastic atmosphere and helping make it a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Bramley Sunnyside JFC U9s now return home as deserved champions — unbeaten, united, and with memories that will last a lifetime.
