DiS 11-a-side football // Sunday 22 Nov // 2 PM

Regent's Park

We did it! We completed one year of DiS Football. Almost exactly one year ago 26 or so skinny (and some not skinny) indie boys turned up on a wet Sunday to have a formal kick-about. Despite conscious efforts from the park staff to spoil that day, an epic battle took place, and it was so painful that it had to be repeated on a monthly basis. Since then we have conquered hailstorms, tropical storms, blazing sunshine and sideway gails. And we still think it's fun. Roll on year two.

The details:
- we play on a full-sized grass pitch
- there are facilities in a little building called The Hub (in the middle of Regent's Park), with lockers and showers (£1.50 charge)
- the football pitches are centered around The Hub
- the exact pitch will not be announced until Sunday morning 9 AM
- nearest tube station is Baker Street (15 min walk) with Camden tube station at a similar distance
- arrive at 1:30 PM for warm-up, tactics discussion, team pictures, etc.
- kick-off at 2 PM sharp
- full 2 x 45 minutes and injury time + 15 min break
- one team will play in red shirts, the other in blue
- everyone can participate, the skills on display are wide-ranging
- final teams will be announced in the week leading up to the game
- three pounds will be collected on the day
- post-match analysis in the Spread Eagle pub in Camden (corner of Albert St and Parkway)

Come on, you know you want to. Put your name down by replying below.
