London Romans FC v Stonewall FC - LUL Cup Final, Sunday 27th May 2012

Meet time: 12 noon

Meet place: Walthamstow Central Station (Victoria Line). Outside the exit where the bus station is.

Match venue: Wadham Lodge Sports Ground, Kitchener Road, Walthamstow, E17 4JP

Map: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=537978&y=190521&z=0&sv=E17+4JP&st=2&pc=E17+4JP&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf

Kit: Please bring own shin pads and football boots. We are playing on grass. Shorts, socks and shirts will be provided. Please wear exactly the same kit. No jewellery is allowed.

Romans : Blue red shirts

Stonewall : White shirts

If you are attending Sunday's Cup Final please make sure you wear a suit ideally with a blue or red (or both) tie. If you don't have a suit Asda do these for £19 or head to your local charity shop. This is a team decision and anyone without a suit may be refused admission onto the team bus we are taking from Walthamstow Central Station - I would like everyone to meet at the station at 12 noon to get us into the spirit of things.

Subs: £5 per player

Referee: Rob Anastasi, linesmen/assistants: Mike Afexendi, Michael McPherson.

Social: There is a bar on site. We will go to a nearby bar after too.

Close to the ground is The Dog and Duck which is a big pub used to having football and hockey teams. They have pool tables and do a reasonable food offering. I suggest drinks there after the game. 
On Hoe Street is The Rose and Crown which is big, has great beer, does food and also has a pool table.

If you want a good pub closer to the stations then I recommend The Nags Head - it's a got a great pizza menu, good beer, good music and has got a slightly cooky clientelle which is pretty 'metro-sexual' and is actually the most interesting mix of Walthamstow people.

Result:

"I'd like to thank you all for giving me the chance to play for London Romans.  I'll always think of those past trainings and matches as good old days. It has been an honour to me to play for team in London. So I hope you guys will be doing fine and London Romans will have a great success and will continue offering the opportunity for anyone to join in who likes football and hasn't two left feet."

Martin has moved to Slovakia where he will continue to play football and keep his skills he developed within the team, we wish him well for the future.

YORKSHIRE TOURNAMENT 2012

Yorkshire Terriers are hosting their annual 5 a side tournament on the weekend of Saturday 10 / Sunday 11^th March 2012 in Leeds and we are inviting all GFSN and associate teams to take part at this well attended weekend!!!!!!!

With the weekend quickly upon us I would just like to update everyone on the plans for this weekends social and football tournament. Currently we have over 30 teams competing with a few still to confirm so it looks like its going to be another fantastic opportunity to make some new links, have a cracking night out and enjoy a day of football (hopefully in the sun but it is Yorkshire after all)
 
Saturday
  
Managers meeting - As per the GFSN email this will take place at Empire in Leeds at 4pm. The address is 24-32 Bridge End Leeds, West Yorkshire LS1 4DJ. For those clubs that are not attending a conference call will be made so please provide a telephone number to the league secretary prior to Saturday. 
 
Evening/ Night out - This year the club has secured exclusive use of Mission 2 in order to get the weekend well on the way. The entrance to Mission 2 is at the side of Viaduct, opposite Fibre on Lower Briggate. The terriers banner will be above the entrance. Could all teams please aim to be in the venue for 8pm where you will be stamped to allow free access to Mission 2 later on in the night, given a raffle ticket to win some fantastic prizes and to hear the promotions/offers we have across other bars on the scene. The all important tournament draw will take place as well so DON'T MISS IT!!!
 
Sunday
 
This year the club has decided to change the venue for our football for several reasons. Firstly we want better facilities for the tournament and secondly making your way to South Leeds stadium from the city centre was always a bit of an unwanted chore on the sunday. Especially with hangovers. :) 
 
So this year the event will be held at Powerleague which is in walk able distance from the city centre. The full address is Wellington Bridge Street, LS3 1LW. Parking at the venue is limited however people in cars can park in the Staples car park by the venue or alternatively there is free parking at the West Street car park, Leeds LS1 4PB which is also very near the venue. 
 
The first football will kick off at 10.30am so please all try and get to the venue for 10am especially those who are up first. Tournament rules/match times etc will be given out on the day but please note the surface is 5th generation 3G so bring suitable footwear. The format will be Group stage/ last 16 / Quarters / Semi's / 3rd/4th Place play off and final. 
 
Post football
 
Knocked out of the football early or made it to the final, either way make your way back to Mission 2 when your football has finished where there'll be a BBQ/Buffet and cheap drinks throughout the day and then once the finals have been played the presentation ceremony will take place including Player of the tournament, runners up medals and awards to the winners. 
 
The terriers will be out long into the night to give everyone a good send off.
