The
History of....................
Borras Park Albion was formed 32
years ago as a Youth Football Club. It was formed between 2 street teams
in Borras Park which were Clark Road and Monmouth Road. The chairman and
manager was Mr Bob Groom and his wife Shelagh, I believe, was
administrator. They are now presidents of our club.
After the first year a trip was
organised to New York and Borras played in a very large
tournament in Long Island. The following year a twinning was formed between TUS Plettenberg in Germany. Plettenberg is South East of Cologne, 24km
from Ludenscheid. There are many exchanges in existence but this has
probably been the most successful and in April 2009 we had our 29th
exchange in Plettenberg. Approximately 600 people from Borras have
visited Plettenberg and 600+ from Plettenberg have visited Borras.
From this small beginning the
club has grown and entered the Wrexham and District Youth League. We
have won many age group league titles and North East Wales Cups. We now
run teams in all age groups from U8’s to U16’s, in the U12, U14 and U15
we run two teams in each age group. One of the teams in each age group
is known as FC Borras but are full members of Borras Park Albion. Each
weekend over 250 players turn out for Borras Park Albion; which I
believe must make us 1 of the largest clubs in Wales. This year could be
one of our most successful ever as at the time of writing this report it
is possible that the Youth teams could win 7 out of 8 divisions of the
Wrexham and District Youth League.
