Yes, the 5-a-side idea has taken off and our team, the No Saints (name coming about because none of us support, or are from, Southampton) have began their quest for glory. Having registered just too late for the league we "lost" our first game without playing it but tonight, fresh with new kits including names and numbers on the back, we actually played our first game...
No Saints 4-9 Southampton Allstars
After going 4-0 down with the first ten minutes (20 mins per half) the No Saints made a glorious recovery to bring it back to 4-4 but ran out of steam late and. Despite a gutsy performance we were eventually beaten by 9 goals to 4.
Personally I really need to work on fitness (think I went in a bit too much in the first 5 minutes!) but that will come with time and overall it was a game played in goof spirit and made us all want more of the action.
So in a league of 9 teams we still have plenty of time to pull ourselves up the table!
