Football

The church has a healthy interest in football and has played in the Cambridgeshire Churches' league for the past three seasons.

Sunday 20th May marked the kick off for a new 6-a-side football league for churches in the Huntingdon area. The first event, held at the St. Ivo Outdoor Recreation Centre in St. Ives, included adult players young and old from Bluntisham, Haddenham, Histon and Somersham Baptist Churches, as well as St Ives Christian Fellowship.

The 6-a-side format is ideal for smaller churches who might find raising an 11-a-side team a challenge.

We're aiming to promote a strong Christian ethos of respect and fair play and are hoping that other local churches will now want to get involved. We were encouraged by how the first tournament went, and the plan is to stage more.

If you would like to enter a church team or find out more please e-mail Russell Banks at and we'll get in touch with you.

Please use the same address if you'd like to find out more about the Bluntisham Baptist Church team, or simply come along to one of our evening kickabouts at the St Helen's School end of Bluntisham Field on a Monday evening at 7pm throughout the summer.

Teamtalk is a weekly e-mail update through the season.
