## Sunday League Madness: Chaos at Clapham Rec
Football at the grassroots level is wild — and nowhere does it get wilder than Clapham Common on a rainy Sunday.
### The Scene
Two teams. One dodgy ref. A pitch that looks more like a swamp than a football field. What could go wrong?
### The Incident
A dodgy offside call sparks a 15-man melee. One lad throws his shin pad like a ninja star. Another’s mum is shouting from the sideline. It’s pure chaos.
### The Redemption
Out of the madness emerges Big Kev — 34, hungover, wearing mismatched boots. He scores a hat-trick in 20 minutes and orders a pint before the final whistle.
Grassroots football: messy, brilliant, and absolutely essential.
