"Berkhamsted FC - Broadwater"

Berkhamsted is a small town just past Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire.
Nicknamed "The Comrades", this is due to the first members of Berkhamsted Town FC being mainly old soldiers recently demobbed after the end of the First World War
In 2009 the club folded due to financial problems and things looked bleak for football in the town.
But I'm glad to say that they took the Town out of the club's name and were reformed as Berkhamsted FC later that very same year.
And they have gone from strength to strength ever since, winning the Spartan South Midland League Two in their first season and then the Spartan South Midland Division One title the following season, impressively only losing one league game all season.
Now firmly established in the Premier Division and current holders of the Herts St. Marys Cup (2012-13) where this season (2013-14) they are chasing promotion (Currently top of the Premier Division - Feb 2014)
Their current best exploit in the FA Cup was in the 2012-13 season where they reached the 2nd Preliminary Round losing to Metropolitan Police 3-0 after beating Uxbridge away in the previous round 4-3!
It's a friendly little club and it's easy to get to from Berkhamsted train station.
Turn right from the north bound platform (If you pass the ticket counters then you're on the the right way, if you go the wrong way then you'll probably find yourself heading for the old castle) and right again out of the station and if you're going the right direction then you'll find yourself walking past a fish and chip shop where the fish batter literally melts in your mouth.
From there continue toward the canal bridge (this is the scenic route....as opposed to the not so short cut through a small housing estate).
Just before you get to the canal turn right along the canal path where you will come to Broadwater, the home of Berkhamsted FC.
Oh and by the way, Daphne does great Burgers and a lovely bit of Bovril!!
