Football at St.Andrews

[midfield_playmaker]

Hi, I'm actually about to go into 4th year, but I've never got involved in football at uni until now. In my final year I would quite like to get involved in the uni football teams. Does anyone have any information on them? How many uni teams are there? when do they play? when do they train? are there trials? how do you get involved etc?

If anyone knows anything about it let me know please.
Cheers

Go along and speak to the football club at the sports fayre during freshers week. They hold trials during the first week, and I think they have 3 teams.

In the university there are three football teams. The first, seconds and thirds all play on a wednesday against other universities and then the seconds and firsts play on a Saturday in the fife league.

They train weekly on a Monday at 5pm on the grass when the weather is fine but move onto the astroturf in the winter.

The best way to get involved is to come along and speak to someone on the Monday if you did not go to the sports fayre to sign up for the team.

There is a selection of squads at the beginning of the season but throughout the season these squads change slightly. If you are not in any of the squads or are just looking to come along to have a game of football or train with the teams then that is fine.

From the way everyone is talking about it, sounds like it's all men! Are there womens' teams at this uni? I'm sure there must be.

The first person to reply to this thread is an ex captain of the womens football team. So yes, there is one.

They are actually doing pre-season in St. Andrews right now. If you email Davy Macaulay (dmacaulayusa@yahoo.com) he'll be able to tell you everything you might want to know. Also all three teams now play both on a Wednesday and a Saturday

Would just like to add that this year we are running THREE teams in the Fife League.
