The 11th WorldNET was held at The University Of Leeds’ Bodington Hall over the weekend of Fri/Sat/Sun 21/22/23 July 2006. We had 64 entries from IFA teams for this years event with squads of up to 22 players. Cup winners were AC Celtic and the Plate was won by QPR.

Friday the 21st kicked off the weekend with the IFA Cup final and the usual glass of lemonade and the traditional gentleman and ladies’ get together in the Bodington Bar. Preston North End emerged victors.

Saturday 22nd saw a series of games between sixteen groups of competing teams; the winners and runners-up from all groups all qualified for day two of the Cup. The 3rd and 4th placed teams from all groups went into the Plate Competition.
|
|
Both 32 team tournaments on Sunday 23rd adopted an FA Cup style format i.e. a sudden death knockout competition. The first round of both day two tournaments was drawn on the Saturday evening of Worldnet; teams then progressed through their section of the draw.

Anyone who hasn’t been to WorldNET before is well advised to do so if only for the social side of the event, 2007 will take place on the 13/14/15th July this will be the 12th event and the 8th to be held at Bodington Hall
|
|
The matches are 15 minutes each way played more or less according to normal FA rules, unlike the FA we encourage women supporters to play and we play our games in a spirit unrivalled in amateur football.
|
|
Book a long weekend off with your boss now and if you are thinking of getting married, divorced, spayed or having a wee nip and tuck job next July do it on any of the many other weekends which happen to come along before and after Worldnet. Enjoyment is our watchword!
