Common Ground United vs Zion Athletic (1 Viewer)

[pete]

Set up in 1979 to offer Saturday fixtures, so ensuring churchgoing footballers did not have to miss Sunday services, the league champions “friendly competition whilst upholding Christian beliefs and ideals”.

But during a game between two church sides last weekend all HELL broke loose.

The match between Common Ground United and Zion Athletic had to be abandoned after a brutal brawl broke out on the pitch at Churchfields playing fields off Newton Road, West Bromwich.

By the time the dust had settled, five Common Ground players were up on charges of distinctly un-Christian violent conduct, one of them facing an additional count of serious violent conduct.

Such was the severity of the trouble that all five could now be banned for a year.

Shocked league bosses say that they have never seen anything like it – and say that an influx of non-Christians into teams may be to blame.

Players are expected to turn the other cheek if confronted.

All the other teams in the league have quite prosaic names, however there is a Corinthians in division 2, which I did like.

The original Corinthians can't be far off that level.In a different district obviously.
