Braintree Athletic FC
Braintree Athletic FC are the official Men's Senior team for Braintree Town Youth FC and play their home matches at the Cressing FC ground. The team are sponsored by the Orange Tree pub on Cressing Road in Braintree.
Founded in 2021, the team began life in the third tier of the Braintree & North Essex Sunday League (BNESL) which they were promoted from at the end of their inaugural 2021/22 season.
The 2022/23 season also ended in promotion, with the team securing the Division 2 title along with the BNESL Team of the Year award, the BNESL Sportsmanship trophy, and the BNESL Golden Boot courtesy of the side's top scorer, Tom Boot. The team also made the 2022/23 League Cup final where they were narrowly beaten 3-2 by Valley Green.
As of the 2023/24 season, the team now play in the BNESL Division 1. You can view their progress via the league's official page here.
The squad is made up of 30 players, with many of them having graduated from Braintree Youth FC having played for teams under Andy Jones, Lee Fisher, Glenn Skinsley, Gavin Easter and Daryl Seymour.
