Wednesday Night Football

Join us on Wednesday nights for relaxed five-a-side football. It's a great space to meet others and to build community. Invite your friends, grab your trainers, and join us weekly from 8.00–9.30pm for mixed football at [St Matthew's Primary School](https://maps.app.goo.gl/5eNWh8DGj63AAWcL6) (near the Grafton Centre). Men and women of all abilities are welcome and we'll head out to the pub afterwards! Your first session is free, and then it's £5.00 per session or you can save money by paying for a whole term! Please note, the pitch is a hard court surface, so we'd recommend wearing trainers or astroturf shoes if you have them. Also, you must be over 18 to play. https://htcambridge.churchsuite.com/events/wittgpce
