A tightly contested battle at the top of the league today, settled by goal difference. Well played everyone that came, hopefully we will get better numbers for the rest of the summer. I know it's difficult with holidays, etc. so we really appreciate it.

Well played Whites who take the win today. The finishing was above what the other teams could match and it was well deserved!

Same time next Sunday!

A couple of weeks into the season and things are taking shape. With last week's leaders missing, we have a new overall leader in Jon, who has put a string of Defender of the Match performances together!

Edit. Well done Jon. Weight and that.

Derek continues his impressive weight loss and soon won't be able to turn sideways through fear of falling through the floorboards! While Vali has achieved his goal of topping the goalscoring charts!

Well played all, shall we do it again Sunday?

Another hot morning, another set of fantastic performances, both in attack and defence from everyone involved.

It was great to see some faces we haven't seen for a while. Welcome back to Curtis and Sellick, as well as a Popular return of Elliot who has been missing for the best part of 18 months with a number of injuries. Good to see all of you again

A little bit of a lower turnout this weekend, but understandable because of holidays this time of year. Nonetheless we have our teams!

Those at the top of the leaderboards, both goal scoring and overall are missing this weekend, which will make for an interesting look come Thursday when the tables are done.

Also, as they weren't posted in the week, the tables are here too πŸ’™

Same as always, 0845 meet, 0900 kick off

A bit of rain and a bit of sun made for an interesting spectacle this morning at Castle School. A combination of tight games and high scoring affairs but an enjoyable morning nonetheless.

Well played everyone!

Good afternoon, from the Royal International Air Tattoo in Fairford.. I'm trying to post this, but I don't get a lot of signal, so lord only knows when this will appear for the rest of you... I'm a couple 🍺 deep, so hopefully I'll make some sense still (Thank god for spellcheck).

Oranges took the win last weekend, captain by Dean. Brilliant performances all around from those boys, well played.

Gary still leads the goal scoring charts, however will be absent for the next couple of weeks to give people a chance to catch up.

The overall leaderboard is currently led by Piotr, who has consecutive week wins and also man of the match performances, well done Piotr!

Finally a huge shout out to Derek who has continued his impressive weightloss into this season, well done mate. Immensely proud of you.

What a beautiful morning for football. 42 of us turned up for a very hot, but brilliant few games of football.

Oranges took the victory overall on goal difference, with a 2-1 against the Reds being the main difference maker. That game included probably the goal of the day from Rhys who scored a wonder goal with his left foot that had dip, pace and power behind it. Pure magic from Dumbledore there!

The day however is over-shadowed with some devastating news for one of our very own, John, who sadly has lost his daughter overnight after a strong and valiant battle against cancer. We send out our thoughts to John and his family at this immensely difficult time. If you need anything, please reach out to us.

Season 11 Week 1 results are in!

Gary Goals, back to what he does best and banging then in. Followed closely by Andy and Constantin. The two former neck and neck in the Overall Leaderboard, literally top stuff!

Shoutouts go to Corey (dare I say it Better May) for a DOM display on his debut and Marcel achieving the same but with 2 fractured ribs! Ouch!

Del off to a great start in the weight loss charts, keep up the good work pal. Not too late to sign up to the weight loss group to the rest of ya.

Team Black with some great performances to win the weekend, can they repeat the trick with presumably different team-mates? Only 3 sleeps to find out!

It's gonna be a hot one, so bring plenty of water and look after each other.

It's Sunday.. You know what that means!!

Scores are in from this morning's games! As always some incredible football, good laughs and goals, goals and more goals!

We also have our results from last season.

Jamie - Taking both top goalscorer title and overall winner. A phenomenal debut season from Jamie and we look forward to him taking it easy this one too πŸ‘€

Dave - Organisers player of the season. Dave joined us a number of weeks ago now and has improved drastically in fitness, ability and confidence. Well done mate, well deserved.

Owen and Josh - 2nd and 3rd place respectively on the weightloss charts and for their efforts receive Β£20 off a Fit Food Tasty UK meal package! Well done lads.

Charlie - Biggest loser.. Sounds like an insult but a huge honour. A handsome man with a wonderful right foot, a natural born leader of men and an all around great guy. Managed to lose 6.88% of his excessive bodyweight over 12 weeks. Yes, Charlie is the social media admin. As the winner, receives a five meal package from our friends at Fit Food Tasty UK!

We go again next weekend!
