Football Club
The Emmanuel College Football Club provides opportunities to undergraduates and graduates of college to play football in the inter-collegiate football competitions of Cambridge as well as in the knockout 'cuppers' tournaments. This includes two men's teams (with the possibility for a third if there is enough interest) and a women's team.
Men's Football
The men's first team is currently in the first division (there are eight divisions in Cambridge), and finished a solid mid-table last year. The firsts provide a competitive atmosphere for those who like to play football that little bit more seriously. The men's second team is currently in the third division. The men's third team is in the 8th division, having only been established 2 years ago, this provides a great opportunity for everyone to play matches (even against the Pink Panthers at the end of the year!). Generally there is training once a week at the Wilberforce Road sports fields and a kick-about once a week on parker's piece just behind college. Matches are generally on Saturday afternoons (so all you NatScis and Mathmos can go to lectures). Whatever level of ability and experience, there will be an opportunity for you play football at Emmanuel.
Women's Football
The Emmanuel women's team is known as the Pink Panthers. They are known for their team spirit demonstrated by the fact that players of all abilities (most people haven't played before) come and have a kick-about together. The Pink Panthers are coached by the crème de la crème of the men's football team, but don't be intimidated, they are exceedingly nice although unfortunately not as handsome as last year! Generally there is training twice a week, although one of these is a very informal kick-about; and matches are normally on Saturdays. Don't worry even if you've never kicked a ball before, you will improve so much, and become a vital part of the Pink Panthers team!
