Just one image captured from a great day, when all ATA FC players and officials dared to dream…
All the goals, gaffs and sunburn ratings from the BAF Cup will follow very soon we promise! ( it’s just that we’ve only just been able to walk again…)
From small acorns great homemade kits are made.
The first BAF Cup saw Jibbering - in on the street art card - walk away winners. Full tournament report to follow.

Odds cut on Eastside Projects to win this Saturday’s BAF CUP http://www.britishartistsfootball.moonfruit.com/ as they remain undefeated in the pre tournament ‘mini tournament’ at Holt St tonight.
New Ringers Players were present for all teams as FC Dynamo and AC Tortured both gave disciplined performances that bode well for Saturday’s big event. With no new injuries (but an mysteriously absent Whipps) all eyes are now on the Aston Power-league pitches that will herald the first Artists Football Cup.
BAF have imposed a total ban on dogs for The BAF Cup after organisers suffered their eighth popped and gnawed ball last week.
