			<description><![CDATA[Hi anyone that reads this. I'm looking to start a 5 a side team for a league up in Clayton le Woods (unless there's any leagues actually in Leyland) but I'm looking for people that wouldn't take it seriously.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I want people who'll turn up every week, what I mean is people who are either crap (hi), really unhealthy (hello again), or don't mind losing since you'll probably be playing with crap, unhealthy teammates.<br />
<br />
The idea is for a laugh and to meet new people, as I love playing football but have always been naff. I want and need to lose weight and get fit and football would be the ideal way but I feel really uncomfortable approaching other teams since I'd probably never get a game. I just want to find like-minded people who want to play and will try to win but don't care if they get stuffed.<br />
<br />
If you're reading this and it isn't for you but you think you might know someone, you'd do me a massive favour if you passed on the message and my email address which I've set up for this (don't want my personal one on a forum), which is fiveasideleyland@hotmail.co.uk<br />
<br />
Thanks to anyone that reads this]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Living in Australia I'm obviously not local but I thought I'd put this in anyway. (I used to live in Leyland so I was local once!)<br />
As suggested by the title I play in the South Australian Masters Soccer League. Games are played on Sunday mornings in paklands and school grounds near the centre of Adelaide. Players must be 35 years old or older, games are played over two 40 minute halves and there can be unlimited substitutions with subs able to return to the ground after coming off.<br />
I play for a team called Austria (no relation) and as I write we are  near the bottom of Division 1 and have reached the semi finals of the Challenge Cup.<br />
Many of the the teams, and Austria is certainly one of them, don't have any formal training regime. Games are usually played in good spirit with a couple of beers, and occasionally more,  being downed afterwards.<br />
Results can usually be found at <a href="http://www.sams.org.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">www.sams.org.au</a>. The website is run by someone assosciated with one of the other clubs and because of the suject matter I imagine is  rarely be viewed by anyone outside Adelaide.<br />
People in Leyalnd and elsewhere may find it interesting to read about a small but flourishing sporting league on the other side of the world.<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Living in Australia I'm obviously not local but I thought I'd put this in anyway. (I used to live in Leyland so I was local once!)<br />
As suggested by the title I play in the South Australian Masters Soccer League. Games are played on Sunday mornings in paklands and school grounds near the centre of Adelaide. Players must be 35 years old or older, games are played over two 40 minute halves and there can be unlimited substitutions with subs able to return to the ground after coming off.<br />
