The Games Committee regrets to have to announce that there will be no Five a side football tournament in 2017. Having reintroduced this contest in 2006 to great acclaim and with huge success it was not an easy decision to take but a number of factors, including the lack of teams taking part last year, left us with little alternative.

The matter may be looked at again at the 2017 AGM (which is likely to be held around the end of October) to consider whether or not to reintroduce the competition in 2018 and, if so, what format that might take. Thanks to all who have taken part over the last 10 years.
