Every year on Remembrance Sunday,
Brampton Spartans F.C. take a few minutes to pay homage to those from the Village that
made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives in the two Great Wars, so we
are able to play our football in a free country. As a mark of respect we never play games at home before 12
noon on this day.
We always preceded any matches played on this day
by a Remembrance Service and a Poppy Wreath laying
ceremony. Memorial Playing Fields is dedicated to
those brave people.
Many that joined the Services lied about their age, so they
could take part in what
they thought was the big adventure, making them not a lot older and in some
cases the same age as our U16 team.
This years wreath was laid by the Captain of our
Under 12B and U13 Team and the service was conducted by the Brampton Branch of
the British Legion.
