Are you currently studying law and interested in playing football at a high level?

Then why not come trial for the Law football team?

All ages are welcome! Should you be a first year, fourth year, or on your masters/P.H.D.

Please don’t be shy and come along

We are a long established team currently in a BUCS (British university and colleges sport) league playing competitively against other universities across Scotland.

Games will be played on a Wednesday afternoon at Peffermill (if scheduled to play at home).

If scheduled to play away then fixtures will also be on a Wednesday but often slightly later so as to allow us extra time for travelling to other universities.

All fixtures will be played out-with your timetable to avoid clashing with academic commitments.

Not only do we provide ample opportunity to play football, but also an opportunity for socialising with other people on your course. Should it be attending the Law Ball together or just heading out for a few drinks to watch the football we consider ourselves an open and accommodating group of friends which we would be more than happy for you to join.

Joining the team may also help you with your studies, as mentioned our players range from first year to P.H.D, meaning someone in our squad will have undertook and experienced the courses you are currently sitting. I can personally say for myself that being part of this team has allowed me to better understand my course and university processes.

If you are at all interested, Trials will be held on Wednesday the 18th of September, 2-4pm at Peffermill (Pitch 3G1). We have a changing room from 1:45pm so please get down early to be on the pitch for 2pm.

If you plan on attending or have any queries/questions please contact either of the Captains through the below information.

Ben Campbell – 07956758631 or bencampbell7910@hotmail.co.uk

– You will be collecting information to create your own unique viewpoint, helping you to spot investment opportunities.

– This industry leader needs independent thinkers who are open-mindedly curious, interesting, enthusiastic, and questioning.
