League set to double in size just a week after starting!

A UKMA   affiliated league is set to double in size, just a week after it kicked off.

The   league, in York, started this week with 16 teams in two divisions, but such   was the success of the first week, there are now 16 more teams waiting to   join.

The rapid   increase is put down to the low-cost matches designed to include as many of   the community as possible.

UKMA’s Brian   Thorn said that although most leagues get bigger after their first   season, the doubling in size to 32 teams was “very exciting”.

He added: “32   teams in York makes it our biggest affiliated league in North Yorkshire and   the fact we have been able to make the league as accessible as possible, so   that people from all backgrounds and income levels can experience the   excitement of minifootball is fantastic news.”
