For over 10 years a group of ex-Acorn employees and friends have played a weekly game of 5-a-side football. From the start, the games were been organised by Owen Love and it is in his memory that the games he loved so much continue.

In March 2002 the club became "Official". In order to block book our Friday games at Cherry Hinton Village Centre, we needed to create a constitution for the club and elect club officials. The electorate was made up of senior and long standing players and the results of the election can be found on this site.

For the last couple of years we've been playing on a Friday afternoon at Cambridge Regional College on Kings Hedges Road. Cherry Hinton was too far from most players and they started to mess us around.

Since we started recording statistics, 100+ players have played some part in the games which shows how popular they can be. That said, we still have trouble finding 10 players.

Some members of the club have played over 300 games (400 games in one case) and still ask every week how much they have to pay to play.

I hope you enjoy the site and please send any comments to:

The Chairman.
