Burwash FC Needs You: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Matchday Within Reach

Burwash FC — the village team that’s been lacing up since 1890 — is on the brink of something extraordinary. They’ve made it to the final three in the EFL and Jameson “Ultimate Matchday” competition, and the last thing standing between them and the win is us — the local vote.

Voting is open now and closes on Monday, 13th October. Every click matters.

Why it’s worth two minutes of your time

Earlier this season, Jameson and the EFL teamed up to offer one amateur club the chance to experience the full professional matchday treatment. Think Sky Sports cameras, pundits like David Prutton, Jobi McAnuff, and Steve Sidwell calling the action, a professional referee, and even a physio on the sidelines. For one unforgettable day, a grassroots team will get to feel like the pros they’ve always admired.

Two runner-up clubs will also receive their own Jameson-branded strip — complete with club crest — but only one side will get the “Ultimate Matchday” experience.

The heart behind the club

Burwash FC isn’t just another Sunday team. It’s part of the village fabric — a club that’s seen generations pull on the same colours, through muddy winters, off-days, and hand-me-down kits. The players still turn up, week in and week out, because they love the game and what it means to the people around them.

As the team put it themselves: they’ve faced dodgy offside calls, kits heavier than the players, and enough post-match tea to fill a swimming pool. That’s grassroots football at its purest — and it’s ours.

What a win would mean

A win here isn’t about fame or sponsorship deals. It’s about recognition — for the countless Saturdays spent on cold touchlines, the volunteer coaches, and the players who’ve kept the badge alive for over 130 years. It’s a moment for the village to see itself reflected in something bigger, and to remind everyone that small places still produce big spirit.
