A BIT ABOUT FOOTBALL
Football matches last 90 minutes and are played in two halves of 45 minutes each. At the end of the first half there is a 'half-time' break of 15 minutes that will allow you time to go and get a drink or a bite to eat from our refreshment kiosks.
Each team is comprised of 11 players (including one goalkeeper) and each team is allowed to make three substitutions.
The winner of the match will have three points added to their season total. If the match ends in a draw then each team will get one point each.
