Lichfield footballers are being urged to beat the winter blues by signing up for a league in the city.

Leisure Leagues runs a series of divisions on the all-weather pitches at King Edward VI Leisure Centre on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

League manager Andy Black said:

> “Unfortunately most of us don’t have the advantage of playing on pitches which have under-soil heating, so if temperatures dip too much, there is only one thing a referee can do – and that’s pull the plug.  
>  
> “With the artificial state of the art surfaces we use at Leisure Leagues games are far more likely to withstand a bit of cold, meaning there will be less disappointment, and more football.”

The top two teams from every league will receive trophies at a presentation night, and have the opportunity to play the top teams from all over the United Kingdom in the Leisure Leagues six-a-side national tournament which is held in Cannock.
