Friendly Football on Tooting Common, Balham

By aloquifique | Wednesday, August 11, 2010, 20:44

I found this Ad on Gumtree, which posts regularly:

We're a bunch of guys (and one girl) in our 20s, 30s and 40s who play football every Saturday morning on Tooting Common in Balham. We've had this game going for 2 years and we're looking for more people to join in so that we get a regular high turn out. We play at 11am on Saturdays. It's not overly serious and glory hunters or hard tacklers should probably look elsewhere. Skill standard is unimportant. This is just a more fun way of getting fit than endless jogging. Get in touch if you're interested.

Cheers!

I'm hoping to pop down this week to see how they're all getting on. Anyone know them or even better play for them? Let me know how it all works!

I've recently come across - http://tinyurl.com/2abdejl - 5aside.org who run a SW London league for after work and weekend 5 and 7 aside football.

The Balham 7 aside play at Chestnut Grove on their 3G rubber crumb surface on Sundays, 6pm - 8pm. The League provide match balls, bibs and FA qualified refs. On match nights, you just show up and play football!

If you're interested, Balham's team are offering you to join a waiting list for joining Summer 2011!! But all the other 7 aside teams in that league have spaces available!
