    Hi OP.

    What rules do you play by. What age groups. How many per side etc. Are you in a league? Is there a website other than the facebook page for the team (blocked in work)

    Hi poldebruin,

    We play by the European 5 a side flag rules ,as in the title its 5 a side, teams will try and have 10+ players on game day for offence and defence but everyone will get to play during a game. There is an official league run in conjunction with the IAFA but we also run independent tournaments with teams throughout the country, currently there are plans to have a mini league towards the end of March. The team will accept players from 16 up, no cap on the age, people under 18 do have to wear gum shields during matches though (optional for over 18's). We don’t have a website at the moment unfortunately but if you have any more questions I would be more than happy to answer them.
    Jason 86.
