The 2024/25 Thurlow Nunn Premier Division champion's Brantham Athletic have had a season to forget in The Pitching In Isthmian Division One North currently on no wins, 2 draws and 22 defeats in their 24 league games played.

Manager Tom Austin and his coaching staff left the club in the summer to join Southern League Premier Division AFC Sudbury which saw a new duo Kevin Coyle and Alex Rossis join the club and build a new squad just three weeks before the start of the season. 

They have since left the club in October to be replaced by Craig Clarke and Michael Brothers. They have a new look side since the opening day of the season - only defender George Chenery and striker Miftau Yusuf (sub) were in the starting XI from the squad on the opening day of the season. Chenery has played for Lowestoft Town between the end of September and November.
