Our traditional mid-year game. Summer has finally arrived, and either this one or the August one will be a scorcher. And note that there is absolutely no football telly on that afternoon (unless you enjoy "Beckham's 25 Years Of Sky Sports") , so you have no excuse not to turn up.

Regarding our international friendly schedule, we have our trip to Sheffield pencilled in for Saturday 27 August, and negotiations will start soon with representatives of E&Y, Brewdog and the Libertines for potential games in September and October.

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)
