London Titans Football Club

On Sunday 9th December, the Titans held their Christmas social. This began with Christmas lunch at one of our sponsors, the Windsor Castle, followed by ten pin bowling. With Chairman Miaow, Captain Paulo and the Manager captaining teams, it was always going to be competitive but it was Ed’s team who ran out winners helped in no small part by the top scoring ‘Suzy’ Salter. ’Suzy’ and Ed then combined forces once again to win the impromptu pool competition. Photos from the day can be found in our gallery.

Everyone at London Titans FC wishes you a happy Christmas and a healthy, prosperous New Year.

On Saturday 8th December, we celebrated the club’s 3rd birthday by hosting our 2nd birthday tournament. As the tournament’s regular home of Old Deer Park was waterlogged, we had to move the event to Brockley Park. However we were glad to see that our fellow London clubs (Falcons, Romans and Leftfooters) were undeterred by the inclement weather.

The format of the tournament (everyone playing everyone in 20 minute matches of one half) promotes open and attacking football and no one demonstrated this better than the overall winners – London Falcons – winning all their matches, conceding no goals and scoring 12.

The tournament was attended by the Mayor of Richmond (Marc Cranfield-Adams) who also presented the trophy and medals at the post match reception in the Richmond Arms. The mayor also presented the pub’s landlord (Freddie) with a framed shirt and memento of the club’s success at the Gay World Cup in Argentina as a sign of the club’s appreciation for his support since their formation.

Given the success of this year’s tournament and the popularity of its’ unique format, it is hoped that next year invitations can be extended to gay teams beyond the capital.

Results

Due to waterlogged pitches in Richmond we have had to change the venue for tomorrow’s Birthday Tournament. We will now be playing at Brockwell Park (click here for a map). The times remain the same, registration 11.30am for 12.00 KO.

Brockwell Park is next to Herne Hill station and less than a mile from Brixton and Tulse Hill stations.

Post match celebrations, prize giving and *Calendar Launch* will still be taking place at the Richmond Arms, Richmond after the tournament has finished.

The London Titans second birthday will be celebrated, as was our first, with a mini tournament. This will take place at Old Deer Park, Richmond, Saturday 8th December, kick off 1200 (player registration 1130). Seven teams have so far agreed to take part representing London Leftfooters, London Falcons and London Romans FC. This will be followed by a small celebration in the Richmond Arms afterwards with alcohol and cake (well, what more do you want???).
