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!)
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.
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.
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.
Results can usually be found at www.sams.org.au. 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.
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.
Cheers, Dave[
