Bourton and Frankton Football Club will begin preparations for the new football season next week and are inviting new players to join them for the forthcoming 2022/23 campaign.

Next Sunday sees the start of Bourton and Frankton CC’s 2022 cricket season.
In keeping with our history dating back to at least 1881 if not before, we are one of the few village clubs which still only plays Sunday friendly fixtures (i.e. no league cricket) against other local village clubs and teams from the local surrounding area.
For 2022 we have another full season of friendly fixtures from May to September in the offering with some great fixtures against longstanding opponents.

Similar to February, it has been a frustrating March with only the one football fixture played.

Not much in the way of football action to report on to sum up February.

A bit of a mixed bag of results for B & F FC in January.

Bourton and Frankton returned to Coventry Alliance League Division 3 action after a two week lay-off by earning a well-deserved 4-2 home win over Crick Reserves.

If Bourton were hoping for a change in fortunes going into November, we were sadly wrong with two heavy defeats and a narrow cup exit making it a disappointing month.

Not the greatest of months for Bourton with three defeats out of the four games played.

Bourton and Frankton FC’s recent downturn in form in the Coventry Alliance League continued on Saturday as they fell to defeat away at Craven Athletic.
Their 4-2 Division Three reversal was a third successive defeat but it was not without its controversial moments.
Having gone a goal behind, Bourton were level at the break after Kurt Mahoney converted a penalty to make it 1-1.
The visitors then fell behind for the second time early into the second half but again clawed their way back level with Stuart McQuillan on the mark to bring the score to 2-2.
Back came Craven again taking the lead for a third time at 3-2, but Bourton looked to have levelled once again only for a hotly-disputed offside decision and subsequent lengthy consultation to deny them their third goal of the afternoon.
To add salt into the wounds, Craven then broke late on to snatch a fourth goal which itself had more than a hint of offside and strong appeals turned down by the visitor’s defence, to end the afternoon’s scoring.
