FCB started the game with aggression and purpose. Dave was getting in behind the defence with ease and sean was causing problems by cutting inside. It was a great start by the whole team. It didn’t take long for sean and Dave to link up and bang, 1-0. FCB kept up the pressure and soon […]

Another beautiful spring day, another 6:30 alarm and another Clausura game deep in a suburb the expats would otherwise have never laid eyes on. This week’s opponents were the somewhat confusingly named Guernika Fraher who before the match began sat one place behind the Brits and would have been confident of a home win going […]

Spring has finally arrived in the Spanish capital and FCB were in Vallecas taking on league toppers Bar La Piscina (who keen readers of these match reports will note were involved in a fiery encounter with the Brits the last time the two sides met in Getafe). Rami on his own this week elected for […]

Another sunny Saturday morning in Vallecas saw FCB facing second place holders Banco de España, a great opportunity to get closer to the top and close a disappointing first round with a win. It all started off on the wrong foot as Banco de España took the lead a few minutes into the game when […]

FCB started the match a bit jittery with passes going awry and nerves showing. They did not want a repeat of the 4-0 like the last time these two met. Bar Castillas’s passed it around the back, no surprises there but they didn’t seem to penetrate in the final third. FCB settled and began to […]

Another beautiful sunny morning in Vallecas saw FCB take on Apertura Champions Union Seleccion in this season’s Clausura. The lads had secured a last gasp 3-3 draw in the previous meeting between the teams, and Majid and co surely expected a tough day at the office again this time out.The omens were good for the […]

After last week, it seemed like the boys in red had found their way again and a visit to Aravaca to meet AAPLA was a good opportunity to confirm it. However, a resounding 3-0 defeat brought back ghosts from a very recent past. The starting eleven was formed by Hutch in goal, Sean, Rama, Ricky […]

The last few games leading up to last Saturday had been rough, with FCB winning only one of the last 5, conceding far too many goals and suffering some humiliating defeats in the process. This would be worrying for any team, but when this happens to a prestigious club like FC Britanico, it becomes a […]

The first round of the Bunwer League Clausura got underway on Saturday, and FCB travelled to Getafe on a freezing cold morning to play Bar La Piscina. Once again Rami and Fleck’s team selection was hampered by failing alarm clocks and the men in charge were forced into playing winger Sean in an unfamiliar central […]

This week saw FCB travel to Coslada for a 9 AM kick off against old rivals Bar Castilla (aka Fausto’s). The omens weren’t great as two of the match day squad slept through their alarms and turned up late to join an already depleted squad. Hutch, Christian, Rama and Dorus made up the back 3 […]
