The club was created in 1948
and has always played their football at the Martin's Hill Lane ground in the
village of Burton in Dorset, England (pictured above). Although a combined
Burton and Sopley F.C. was a founder member of the Bournemouth Football League
in the 1920's, the team disbanded during the war and was reformed as Burton F.C.
Chairman: Mike Rolls and Vice Chairman: June Sallis
The club runs 4
teams in the Bournemouth Hayward League,
2
on Saturdays in divisions
4 and 6
and 2 on Sundays in divisions 2 and 9. The football club continues to be part
of the village with today's pavilion erected in 1969 with monies given by the
late Katherine Chance. In the early days a post match wash took place alongside
a standpipe and drain!
Burton Parish Council are
supporting us in improvements & maintenance to the current ground & pavilion.
This directive was given to the Parish Council when the ground was handed a 900
year lease by the owners Merrick Estates, at its inception.
The players and spectators
have always enjoyed a post match gathering to discuss late tackles; great saves
and goals. They do this at The Lamb Inn.
