Apologies for the wait! Here are the results and the league table for the matches played on the 10th and 17th of May. The table will be updated again once the results of the matches on 24th May and 31st May are known. We'll also have some of the health and parenting activities completed by then, so more points can be added to your team's total whilst you're bringing your football skills up-to-scratch...
...And remember you can score points for your team by attending the Dads and Kids Club at Bartongate Children's Centre.
Last season's champions Pro Team are fixed to the foot of the table following a thrashing at the hands (or feet) of newcomers Team Brown who top the table after the first round of matches. All Stars handed out a similar drubbing to Young Lads and Dads. Meanwhile Old Guns dug out a win over Tactrix, and The Liver Lads and The Good, The Dads and The Ugly fought each other to a draw...
The KickStart Summer League got off to an impressive start on Saturday with a big turn out of players. Thanks to all who turned out - especially those of you from teams who didn't play on Saturday - we needed as many people as possible there to get people registered - and to let people know about what's involved. As usual you'll score points for the football - but you can score points too for any activities we give you to do (nothing difficult!) You can also score points by attending the Dads and Kids Club at Bartongate Children's Centre - just remember to give your name to the staff there and tell them you're a KickStart dad. If you do need a creche facility please can you ring and let us know. Thanks!
If you want to play - get in touch with us ASAP and we'll allocate you to a team.
Two matches were played on Saturday (as they will be every Saturday) - match reports to follow; more importantly here's the fixture list...

Free Chlamydia testing and treatment in Gloucestershire!
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection - it's estimated that as many as 1 in 10 young people carry this infection; the real downside is that it often has no symptoms - especially in men, and that it can do a lot of damage to your fertility - and that of any female partners if it is left untreated. The good news is that it is easily treated and that the test for it is free, simple and painless - usually nothing more than peeing into a plastic bottle, followed by a course of antibiotics if your test is positive. For further info go here : Free Chlamydia testing and treatment Remember - it's 'Best 2 Test!'
