CHESS FC

Five-a-side football matches

Our team was formed in the autumn of 2008 and contains both service users and staff members. Originally called "CHESS Masters", a certain natural modesty (and an unaccountable delay in becoming masters of the game) has resulted in a rename to simply "CHESS FC".

The team is now into its third season in the Dovedale Sports Centre Five-a-Side League. They may not have been as successful in their previous matches as they might have hoped but the team has been very successful in bringing people together and helping them to enjoy themselves.

How are we going to do this season? That could depend on how much support we get. Why not come and cheer the team along? Matches are played at the Dovedale Sports Centre in Vicarage Road on Sunday evenings. Two matches are played against the same opponents. Each match lasts 15 minutes and there is a gap between the two to allow the teams a breather.

This season's fixtures are as follows:
