Bere Regis Football Club Archive

Established prior to 1885 and steeped in history and tradition, Bere Regis Football Club (BRFC) can claim to be one of the oldest clubs in the world.  When professional football was legalized in Britain on July 20 1885, Bere Regis Football Club was founded, and we were inaugural members of the South Hants and Dorset football association from which the Dorset County FA (DCFA) was subsequently formed in 1887.

In those early days, the Club was known as 'The Arabs'.

During the 1920’s Bere Regis won the Mid-Dorset Village Football League Cup on a number of occasions as well as the Edmonds and Jesty cup.The 1980s were also a good decade for Bere Regis F.C. as they continued to win cups and promotion in the Dorset Football League divisions.  The Saturday team won the Bankes' Cup twice in 1984 & 85, whilst, the second team also added to the silver collection in 1985 by winning the Dorset Division 3 East League Cup.

In the past the club has maintained a tradition for village football by fielding adult teams on both Saturdays and Sundays.

In the 1980’s Bere also started their 6 a side competition which has now become the premier senior 6 a side competition in Dorset.

The new millennium has seen a number of changes at the club. The Saturday side is striving to gain promotion to the Dorset Saturday senior league, regularly finishing in the top 6 six and in the past few seasons narrowly missing out on promotion. However, the demise of the Dorset FA Sunday Football league has meant that there is no longer any senior Sunday football played at the Rec, but has enabled the club to enter two teams into the DCFA Saturday league.
