Term 2 - 5 a side League

Last year we ran our first ever Womens 5 a side league and it was a great success. As such, this year we hope to do the same. During Term 1 we hope for each of you to make an effort to team up and form some teams ready for the commencement of the Term 2 league. The League will bring about some much more competitive game time and allow for you to put to the test what you have learnt in Term 1. The League will finish with a Play-Off final night - with the winning team coming away with a shiny trophy and their place in Intramural history.
