Football

Three senior and six junior pitches, two sets of home and away changing rooms, an officials' room, first-aid room, kitchen and toilets.

Alconbury Colts started in 1998 when six people sat round a table in the club bar over a few pints. It began with three or four teams and about 40 players. Today more than 170 children play, with teams for every age group and FA-qualified coaches.

A young, ambitious village club. The senior side plays in the Hunts League on Sundays, and junior teams play at Under 9, 11 and 13.

Players of every age and ability are welcome, and so are volunteers: scorers, umpires, age-group managers and tea makers. Training and coaching are available. Junior coaching runs on summer evenings from 18:30.
