REME FOOTBALL

REME Football is the by far the Corps sport with the most participation at soldier level.
Football is definitely the soldiers’ sport! The Corps 6 a-side tournament held annually in September, nonnally attracts in excess of 60 teams, and leads into the Craftsman Cup competitions, Junior and Senior for the rest of the season. The Corps side itself is in the top flight of Army football and is a force to be reckon with.
At unit level, 6 Bn REME has taken over the mantle from 3 Bn REME as the Corps’ team for footballers. SEME and SEAE provide the foundation with many young and enthusiastic players taking to the pitch — the future looks promising.
