The summer has flown by and as the nights draw in, the 5aside league starts up again! We have 11 teams this year, with new teams called ‘Newbigginning’, ‘Quernmore’, ‘Ingleton’ and ‘Garstang’, as well as Real VVV changing their name to ‘Lune Valley Utd’ and Young Guns changing to ‘Roeburndale Rascals’. The format of the […]
On Saturday 14th July we had our annual 5aside tournament at Lancaster University with 8 teams taking place in a round robin format. It was a hot day and the guys played in a great spirit throughout the day with a lot of competitive match ups. After 4 rounds of matches we had a break and […]
On the last night of the 2017/18 5aside season, most of the positions had been decided, but there was one game in particular that could leave the winning team moving up a couple of places in the league as Chipping took on Carnforth. Chipping started the more lively and created a couple of early chances, […]
In the penultimate week of the mens 5aside league we just had 2 games with Real VVV up against champions, Wray and Ingleton against Young Guns. From the start of the game, Wray took control against a young VVV team. As usual Wray had that balance of being well organised in defence and a real […]
After being cancelled on Wednesday 28th February because of snow on the astroturf, we were back again on the 7th March with 4 more fixtures. In the early games Young Guns were looking to continue their winning run against Carnforth and Galgate were looking to move up the table with a win over Crown […]
As we come towards the end of this season, we had 2 nights of fixtures this week. On Tuesday night Crown Lane were looking to win and confirm their runner-up place for the third year in a row. They were playing Capernwray Staff and right from the start Crown Lane pressed Staff high up […]
Unfortunately due to snow still being on the astroturf at Carnforth, our games were all cancelled on Wednesday the 7th February. So it was good to be back playing again this week. The fixtures drew 4 of the top 5 teams in the league playing against the bottom 4 and so there weren’t as […]
This weeks fixtures pulled out some great match ups and on a cold and wet night we had some really close games. In the 8pm games, a strong Galgate team were looking to take points off Crown Lane. This was their first meeting, with the reverse fixture being postponed back in November when the astroturf […]
In the 8pm games Real VVV were taking on Chipping, and Carnforth were against Wray. Real VVV have been on the slide and haven’t won a game since November, after being one of the form teams up until that point. VVV had just had 2 weeks off and the rest had done them good, with […]
It was a very damp night at Carnforth as the top two teams looked to strengthen their places at the summit. Top team Wray took on Galgate in what looked to be a tough fixture for our champions elect. Unfortunately for Galgate, they were a player short. This made it very difficult and as well […]
