Farnham Town’s Flawless Record

If you think of footballing greatness, a ninth-tier club in Surrey might not spring to mind - but Farnham Town say they've had the best start to the season of any club in the UK.

Unless you follow the Combined Counties Premier Division South, you probably aren't aware of Farnham Town's flawless start to the season.

But they’ve been on a record-breaking run; winning 23 games in a row, eclipsing AFC Wimbledon's record of 21 successive wins in the same league 20 years ago.

For this episode of 5 Minutes On, Newsbeat reporter Jared Evitts has been to Farnham to find out how they've managed it, and whether they've got any advice for the ever so slightly bigger clubs currently vying for the Premier League trophy. And we're really hoping that making this podcast hasn't jinxed Farnham Town's run of form!
