Scores and Table Week 6

Here's the table for week 6. A competitive game between Young Lads and Dads and Liver Lads ended in a draw - but Liver Lads completed 5 health activity forms as against Young Lads and Dads 1 form - so Liver Lads now sit 3rd in the table with Young Lads and Dads one off the bottom.

In footballing terms Pro Team shipped 29 goals, scoring a paltry 3 in reply - but have managed to climb one place to 5th in the table by dint of completion of 4 health activity forms, the same number of forms completed by Old Guns who are now 2nd in the table.

Scores: 21st June

Pro Team 3 Old Guns 29

Young Lads and Dads 17 Liver Lads 17

Table Week 6

Scores and Table Week 5

In a bid to make those players who look at the online table sit up and take notice of what they need to do for their team in order to stay in the race - here's the table for week 5. The teams - and one in particular - that completed their health activities have added considerably to their points haul. For the players involved in the next round of matches you now know what you need to do to keep up! The same health activity - on avoiding cancer and testicular self-examination will be run at next week's game.

All Stars not only hammered Tactrix, but also gained a large number of points from the health activity. Tactrix turned out for the game, but didn't complete any activities - no points scored sorry lads.

Team Brown and The Good The Dad and the Ugly also scored health points. Team Brown also scored a point for a player going to the dads club. An Old Guns player turned out for The Good, The Dad and The Ugly this week - and scored 4 points for Old Guns by completing the health activity - but will not be allowed to undertake the same activity when Old Guns get to do it next week.

Still all to play for - if you don't win the football match you can still grab points by completing activities and attending the Dads and Kids Club.

Scores: 14th June

Headline News! KickStart Team Announcement!

For those of you who access this blog and are interested in ensuring that the Gloucestershire KickStart men's health and parenting 5-a-side football project continues, the KickStart Team who organise the project have been exploring the possibility of establishing a voluntary 'Gloucestershire Dads and Lads' group to raise the relatively small amount of funding required to ensure the project's long-term future. Whilst there is finance currently available for the short term, we feel that the project will have a greater chance of being sustained if a voluntary group is able to raise the necessary funding. To this end, the KickStart team will be speaking to players during the course of the summer league about getting involved in establishing a voluntary group. We will continue to organise and run health and parenting activities - but the football will be run by the dads.

We envisage that the current KickStart organising team will establish the group, prior to handing over (or being voted off!)to a group of dads willing to get involved. If you're a KickStart player and you're interested in this idea, please let us know via the KickStart mobile on 07507 307123 or by email at kickstart@topmail.co.uk . Thanks!

Announcement to all KickStart players!

There will be an end of season 5-a-side tournament for all KickStart teams on Saturday 30th August - prizes to be awarded. More details to follow soon.

Scores and Table Weeks 3 & 4

OK - here's the updated table and results for weeks 3 & 4 of the league. Team Brown lead on goal difference over Old Guns, and Young Lads and Dads prop up the foot of the table - but early days yet. Liver Lads were beaten - but managed to score a point for a dad's attendance at the creche at the Dads and Kids Club. For those other dads who turned up at the Dads and Kids club expecting to get a point (mentioning no names...) - you do have to turn up with a child! If you can't do this there will be other activities you can do later in the season to score extra points.

Please remember there are no matches on the 7th of June - next fixtures will be on the following Saturday.

Table Weeks 3 & 4

Scores and Table Weeks 1 & 2

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...

Kick Off!

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...
