After 10 months of playing astro turf football on Wednesday nights we've finally got a team together and entered in to the Football Mondial leagues. Our season kicks off next Monday (18th) at 21:30 - Great! The leagues consist of Premiership, Championship. League 1 and League 2. We expected to be starting at the bottom and work our way up but we've been put in to League 1! I'm not sure if thats a good or bad thing, we'll soon find out if we'll survive or slide down to League 2 (where we probably belong)

Do mundial still pay the rule where your keeper can't kick it and cannot come out of his area?

Astro Villa 0-7 Jam Factory
Keeper - Scott
2 - James
8 - Ben
10 - Dave
11 - Marc
12 - Jimerthy
One of the lads dropped out this afternoon stating that a 21:30 kick wasn't good for him, he has a point as he lives out of York. But I knew this would happedn as hes the type of person to agree to something then back out, he knew the times weeks ago.
A lad at work said he was good in goal and that he would be our keepers if we wanted (Yes, the same lad with the issues!) My mate couldn't find anyone else so we went for him. All day I've not expected him to turn up and we were waiting for ages in the car park only for him to be already at the pitch, felt quite guilty! None of us expected him to be any good either!
We saw some lads practicing shooting, very hard shots! We were hoping they weren't Jam Factory, they were! Straight away Scott (keeper) had to make a save, he dived across the goal on the floor, he wasn't lying hes amazing!!! I had one decent run with the ball down the left wing but these guys were far too good for us! James had a coming together with one player and they both fell to the floor, I heard their players head hit the ground!
We spent most of the night defending, and what little attacking we did didn't last for long! As I was sprinting up and down after 15 minutes I was knackered! By the half time whistle we had conceeded 3 goals, all down to our defending.
Second half and switch around. We were a complete mess to be honest! I was managing to tackle them but not keep hold of the ball afterwards! I mainly defended for the last 10 minutes to no avail as we conceeded 2 more goals!
We were really out classed and it just showed how bad we are, still I expected to lose by more than 7 goals! So much harder than the game we play on Wednesdays where theres about 8 a side! I'll be asking the lad tomorrow if he wants to join the team.

This was our first game, we've been playing for about 10 months, first time we've played with keeper and one lad too. I hadn't played since school before this. On a Wednesday we play with people who play Sunday League and some play every day. We've all improved but tonight just showed how much better the other team were.
Although, we were placed in League 1 as someone dropped out. Would rather have been in League 2!

Probably be for the best taking a spanking in the 1st game you'll realise you have to organise yourselves better at the back if you don't want the same every week!

or it will just happen every week anyway
I remember when I used to play Sunday league and the new clubs would get put in the top division (for some stupid reason) and mostly ended up getting spanked 15+ nil every week...they never used to make it through a whole season!

1st game out of the way and can only improve Once you all get used to the new players, get the defending sorted..Did you have one player that hung back alot?
WHen I played in the league we finished runner up twice and 3rd once in the top division after being promoted through the leagues, done feck all in the cups though...But we did have alot of excellent players, including me 
The Jam factory how did they do last season? Finished high up league?
Good luck for next game
