Every year about this time, the small hamlet that is Bere Regis is treated to a feast of football from the cream of Dorset football and this year was certainly no different. From the wilds of Bishops Caundle and Lulworth to the teeming metropolis’ of Poole and Ferndown, footballers make their merry way to Bere’s own ‘Theatre of Dreams’ to try to wrest the trophy from those Sandford boys, winners for the last two years. However, as you can see from the above picture, none succeeded!
Despite the presence of some outstanding teams (noticeably Poole Borough, Bloor UK, Ferndown Sports, Sturminster Marshall and The Red Lion, Wareham), Sandford had the audacity to contest the final between their A and B teams. The crowd was not disappointed in the standard of football overall, though, witnessing the kind of goals even Hansen would get excited about and movements more impressive than Travolta in his heyday. Once again, the Bere Regis teams did not get past the first round in football but easily won the drinking, with more rounds than half the teams put together, despite some competition from The Weld Arms team, who appeared to have travelled all the way from the early 70’s with their tight shorts and pencil moustaches!
All in all a great event once again and huge thanks must go to Ragamuffins, for toiling in the summer sun on the bbq; St John’s Ambulance, for patching up the likes of Adey Moore in a Terry Butcher styley; Sue Stone, for outstanding PA skills; Callum and Max for running the scores; the referees, for having skins thicker than a rhinoceros; and last, but not least, all the Sports Club volunteers (you know who you are!) who worked their socks off on pitches, posts and pints.
Here’s to next year when Sandford may finally lose their crown…..

1999
1999 saw the first Dapper Hall Memorial Six a Side competition won by the Branksome Railway B team who are based in Poole. They beat Moreton by 15 points to nil (one point awarded for a corner and three for a goal).
The day was well supported with 38 teams turning up despite the heavy showers between the sunshine. Our local heroes of Bere Regis Football Club entered three teams. One team failed the first hurdle by not getting through the league round. T'other two teams both managed to reach the last eight but unfortunately didn't progress any further.
This competition has been named after Dapper Hall who died this year and is missed by many. Dapper had lived in the village all his life only leaving it to fight with the British Tank Regiment against the Germans in WW2 . He played for Bere Regis as a man and boy. In later years Dapper became the treasurer and secretary of the club. He was married to Hazel for 49 years living in the same house in the village for all those years.
Hazel is still involved with the club. She has the laundry and catering contract. Her teas are very much appreciated by both home and away fans and teams at half time.
