5 a side league?

Southside FC could enter a team into a 5 or 7 a side league. This would be an opportunity for some of the more competitive players in the squad to get together and try to win a competition.
We'd need a volunteer to run this - and the games are relatively expensive  - usually £7ish per player per game.
There's a really good 7 a side league in Balham on Sunday evenings that's got a waiting list and a 5 a side  league on Thursdays at GOALS in Beckenham with spaces available now.
If we entered a Southiside team into a league it would be in addition to the usual Tuesday Dome sessions and the Monday/Tuesday 11 a side games.
Over to you - the club can provide an initial cash float to get things started but after that it would  need to run independent of the rest of the club.
Just an idea - let me know if anyone fancies taking a lead on this.

Park Life

Really good session last night. Honourable draw against a team of Rugby players.
Next week we'll meet behind the Windmill pub as usual but we'll probably play a bit further into the common where there's a better playing surface and more space.
I'll bring  the last of the new stock off yellow tops and some bibs.
See you all next week.

New kit

I should have the new kit by the end of the week. Red tops for Milky, Mark B, Cet, Billy, Reece plus 1 spare XL shirt. Also 12 new yellow shirts available for £6 each on a first come first served basis. Bibs £1 each.
Hope to see everyone on Tues

Football on the Common

Over the summer break, some of the squad plan to  keep playing every Tuesday, 6.30-8pm(ish).
Meet near the Windmill Hotel (see map) on Clapham Common Southside.  Everyone welcome & it's free.

Summer Break

Southside FC's summer break starts now. We'll return to action on Mon 22nd August on grass at the Athletics stadium. Dome sessions will resume late Aug/early Sept.

FC Inter 2, Southside FC 3.

Congratulations to everyone for Finding the venue in deepest Surrey. We started very well, racing to a 3-0 lead. Really we should have made a  cricket score but instead we lost focus and ultimately we were lucky not to throw our lead away. Two goals from Reece and one from Scott  were just enough to  nick a win against a physical and direct  FC Inter  side. Despite having lots of ability all over the pitch we got drawn into reacting to FC Inter's  style of play rather than sticking to our own short passing game. We did create bundles of chances - Kevin was unlucky to have an excellent goal chalked off wrongly for offside but Inter created a few good chances too  as we committed too many players in attack.
I've got mixed feelings about this game - Suffice to say that i'm really looking forward to a few weeks off  before we return to action on August 22nd.
