🏆Alan Hood Charity Cup Draw🏆

Brandon United have been drawn at home against the winners of the Preliminary Round tie between Belmont United and Easington Lane in the First Round of the Alan Hood Charity Cup.

Belmont arrive in the Premier Division following promotion, while Easington Lane have firmly established themselves at this level in recent seasons, meaning whoever progresses will provide a tough test for Brandon.

The draw also highlights the quality throughout the competition.

Should Brandon progress, a Second Round tie awaits against either Esh Winning & Deerness Valley or Gateshead Leam Rangers.

Gateshead Leam Rangers have consistently been among the Premier Division’s strongest sides and regular promotion contenders, while Esh Winning & Deerness Valley bring together the former Northern League club and a Deerness Valley side that earned promotion from Division One.

There are no easy games in this competition, but that’s exactly what cup football is all about.

We look forward to welcoming our opponents to The Welfare Ground and seeing where the journey takes us in the cup where we were beaten in the semi final last season.

⚽ BRANDON UNITED FC – CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE

The 2026/27 season feels really close. Today I attended the Wearside League AGM, where the league welcomed several new teams, grassroots Football in our area looks stronger than ever.

After a busy summer of planning and preparation, we are now looking forward to another season in the Wearside Premier League.

We’ve been working hard on and off the pitch and over the coming days and weeks, we will be announcing a number of exciting developments, including:

🔴 New signings
⚫ New sponsors
🔴 Ground and facility improvements at The Welfare Ground

None of this would be possible without your continued support.

We really appreciate our volunteers, players, supporters and visitors and can’t wait for our pre season friendlies and the start of the new season in August.

Stay tuned and best wishes.

Pre-season is about much more than fitness.

It’s an opportunity to bring players together, build team spirit, reset and strengthen the culture around the club and develop the style of play we want to take into the new season.

It gives new and returning players the chance to understand what it means to represent Brandon United and lays the foundations for the months ahead.

We look forward to welcoming supporters back to the Welfare Ground throughout July as we continue building towards the new campaign.

🌱⚽ Groundsman Appreciation Post - Stig 👏🏻👏🏻 ⚽🌱

A huge thank you to Stephen Atkinson “Stig” who has single handedly looked after the Welfare Ground throughout the season.

With two senior teams regularly using the pitch, keeping the surface in top condition takes a huge amount of hard work, dedication and countless hours behind the scenes.

The pitch continues to receive compliments from visiting teams and officials on how well it looks and plays, which is a credit to the effort that goes into maintaining it week after week.

The work never stops and preparations for the new season are already well underway. Looking at the pitch today, it’s already shaping up nicely for another busy year ahead.

Thank you for everything you do for Brandon United.

🏆 PROMOTED 🏆

Brandon United Women have officially secured promotion from the DCFA Division 1 to the DCFA Premier League in only their second season together.

An incredible achievement for everyone involved, adding to the recent success of reaching and winning a cup final during another outstanding campaign for the club.

Massive congratulations to the players, Michael and Steve the coaches, volunteers, supporters and everyone who has played a part in the journey so far.

A lot of hard work has gone into building this team both on and off the pitch and this promotion is thoroughly deserved.

The challenge now moves to the Premier League and we can’t wait for what comes next.

Unfortunately, one of the floodlights at the Welfare Ground has blown down again following recent weather conditions.

Thankfully nobody was injured, but the damage means we now face another unexpected repair and safety job at the ground.

As always, we’ll work quickly to make the area safe and assess the next steps to get everything back up and running properly.

Running a grassroots football club comes with constant challenges behind the scenes and moments like this are a reminder of the work required just to keep facilities operating week in, week out.

We’d like to thank everyone who continues to support Brandon United through it all, volunteers, supporters, players, sponsors, and the wider community.

🌱 Post Season Pitch Work ⚽

As the season comes to an end, attention now turns to the pitch. Our Women team are still fighting for promotion, once finished we focus on the pitch.

Work is due to start in the next month on our post-season maintenance programme to give the surface the best possible chance ahead of next season.

A lot goes on behind the scenes at this time of year, repairs and general upkeep, all with the aim of providing a surface the players and supporters can be proud of.

Thank you, as always, to Stig our fantastic groundsman and everyone giving up their time to keep the club moving forward.

We do it all again in August for the 26/27 season.
