Mens Saturday football team, open to players aged 16 and over.

Our club has been representing the village of Melbourn in South Cambridgeshire for over a hundred years, we have a rich history and have won various honours and trophies along the way.

Currently we have one team that compete in Division 2A of the Cambridgeshire Mead Plant & Grab League, with most games played on Saturday afternoons. The division is competitive at a reasonable standard, although by no means world class!

Our home pitch, "The Field of Dreams" (The Moor), is located in Melbourn and has modern changing room facilities with ample parking. Our unofficial clubhouse is based at The Dolphin pub in the village where post match food is provided. They are also sponsors of the club.

If you are interested in joining or would like anymore information on the club please contact the secretary, Simon Gascoyne via email; simon_gascoyne@hotmail.com.
