Following our glorious victory against the brewers of the dog last Sunday it's back to the nitty gritty of a proper Reds vs Blues game. After the last one got a bit feisty there may be a referee for this one. Should be able to confirm that early next week. Maybe.

On the international friendly front, the London International Amateur league is 100% going ahead, and will start on Sunday 5 June. All matches will be played at Market Road, and kick-off for our games is 4 PM. This coming Monday (16 May) you will receive an email with details how to sign up for the squad.

And there has been some preliminary talk of another Sheffield trip. Possibly early September.

The usual blurb:
- we play on a full-sized astro-turf pitch
- there are changing rooms and toilet facilities
- 5 min walk from Archway tube station (Northern line)
- 1 min walk from Upper Holloway train station (Barking - Gospel Oak line)
- Buses 17, 43, 263 and 271 all stop at Upper Holloway train station
- arrive at 3:30 PM for warm-up, tactics discussion, pre-match fags, team pictures, etc.
- kick-off at 4 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
- 5 pounds each will be collected on the day
- post-match analysis in the Landseer pub on Landseer Road (5 mins walk away)
