Last night was playing football with some work colleagues and a few of their mates in Loughborough.

One of the guys there came to me afterwards and asked if I played for a team.

"No"

"Oh, do you work on Sundays then?"

"No"

"Do you want to join Donnington football team."

"Erm, ok."

He seems to think Id be good enough for the first team, god knows what I did to make him think Im any good.  Can only think the team must be rubbish

Looking forward to it though, will take any chance to play Football these days, training on Wednesday too.  Which is all great as Ive never been so active in my life until now.

Itll be fun. I play 5 a side with work on a wednesday night and mates on a sunday but I wouldnt mind getting involved in a 11 a side too. I do find 5 a side is better for fitness as although theres less area youre constantly moving more to create the space.

I do the same, 5 a side with work colleagues on Tuesday and Thursdays.  We have a pitch in our works grounds, its a good size pitch, probably more suitable to 7 or 8 a side, but 5 a side is just as good.  Then on Fridays I do 5 a side in Loughborough on an astro turf pitch with other work colleagues.

Now I got training on Wednesdays and games on Sunday(Hopefully).  Good job the Tuesday and Thursday games will end soon due to the nights drawing in(no flood lights).  Football 5 times a week might have just killed me, especially as I play badminton once a week, usually straight after football, do weights 3 to 4 times a week as well.

My legs are REALLY hurting tonight  

Woohoo.....

Now they want me to play for the Saturday league team!!!!

congrats walrus! nothing like playing sport in a team, provided said team doesnt take itself tooooooo seriously. Hope its all good fun for you.

I had my first training session with the Saturday lot last night.  2 hours of sprints followed by various football exercises.

It was tough, theyll so fit, made me look unfit.

Congrats next time u post you might have a fat contract

Miss it so bad, training twice a week always evil but Saturday matches were the dogs.
