IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2007/2008 Season
This year I need to get some new younger players so the team can continue in the
future years. I am in my final year of Uni and most likely cannot continue to
organise the team and the league after this year. Therefore I will be handing
over the team after Christmas to anyone who is willing and will be guaranteed to
be around for next year 2008/2009 season. The league organiser job will
also be up to grabs but the onus maybe on the new Paft captain to continue the
league if no one steps up. It was the only reason why I took over, it's not that
hard to organise really. I have sorted out all the rules and fixtures for the
new organiser.
This means that no one will be allowed to join who is not
able to play next year and this also means that there may be competition for
places.

Brief History
The team was formed by Adam Camilletti in his third year at UCL, 2000-2001,
because he thought it would be good fun to play in a football team that didn't
take itself too seriously but would still play proper fixtures. Originally the
team usually played against other departments or societies within UCL. The team
plays every Wednesday during term time at Regents park, and each year a team has
unofficially entered into the indoor inter-society five-a-side tournament,
though this has recently been made impossible due to politics.
Team Captains:
Adam Camilletti (2000 - 2002)
Matthew Callender (2002 - 2003)
Kris Booroff (2003 - 2005)
Steven Leake (2005 - 2006)
David Anthony (2006 - present)
The team has moved on a great deal since its creation, largely due to the
dedication of its players and a much stronger feeling of it being "our" team
than that experienced by the UCL teams.
Who Can Play for Paft?
Well, anyone. The team is primarily meant for members of the Physics and
Astronomy department at UCL (male and female) and preference will be given to
them when choosing the team for a match. However, anyone can play, for instance,
one of our most regular players of previous seasons was actually in the Chemical
Engineers Department.
Generally we get a full team including a healthy number of substitutes for most
weeks. However, due to bad weather or some other reason, from time to time we
are below full strength. So even if you just want to play football, or are from
the department but don't feel you are good enough, please come along anyway,
everybody gets a chance to show what they can do.
A special note to female players :-
There are obviously a large number of gifted female footballers out there, but
with the female branch of the sport rapidly growing it is becoming increasingly
difficult to find female players that have not be snapped up by the top
all-female sides. For this reason we do not expect to find a regular female
player for our 11-a-side team. The interest levels are just too low. However,
should you be interested, please contact us as we will not discriminate one bit.
