Old Guns V All Stars
A triumph of 'young guns' over tired old legs? Old Guns met their first football defeat in their last game of the winter league - being overrun and soundly beaten by All Stars; in terms of the health activites Old Guns demolished All Stars, scoring over 4 times as many points - a haul of 52 points from the Smoking Cessation Activity and the Mental Health and Stress Activity. All Stars could only manage 12 points from the Sexual Health and Smoking Cessation Activities by way of reply. We are aware that team members did take home activity forms - so the points haul may well change for - both teams.
The result leaves Old Guns at the top of the table by virtue of the points scored from their activites - 4 points clear of All Whites who are due to play Pro Team on Saturday. Old Guns have played their last game however, meaning that if other teams can overtake them in the remaining games - Old Guns will need to score more points from activities (available to download) to stay on top of the table. All Whites have been the only team to get involved in the Parenting Activities, and score extra points - a lesson that other teams may be wise to heed...

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!'
