They also competed well for many years in the top Surrey Youth League against some of the county's finest teams, batting well above their village club, non-selective status to mix it with academy-level teams.
Coach Simon Coffey said it had been a privilege to coach the team, many of whom had been with him from U7 level, and that the team could be extremely proud.
Needing a win to be sure of third, behind Farnborough Elite and Royals Elite, a club connected to Reading, Badgers went behind midway through the first half, but hit back within a minute through Mike Richardson to make it 1-1.
Alex Nicholson then headed home a Matt Higgins free-kick, before goals from George Coffey and Nicholson made it 4-1.
Ashford were always dangerous in attack and made it 4-2 with 15 minutes to go, Brockham were in control and a fifth, from Richardson, settled the game.
A consolation goal from Ashford rounded off the scoring
Brockham: Dennis Rapson, Connor Baker, Will Mahoney, Matt Higgins, Will Bletso, Alex Nicholson, Josh Brown, Ollie Winter , Mike Richardson, Gecco Navalta, Tom Ball, Harry Morland, George Coffey, Harry Ramsey, Frankie Routlef.
