A convincing 5-0 win for Lobby XI against UK Parliament FC ParliamentFootball in the sun this morning. Some beautiful flowing football leading to goals from Matt Dathan, Matt Lavender & Oscar Tami. Thanks to not-at-all-intimidating ref Dermot Gallagher & RIA for their support.

One thing you can guarantee, if you're the goalkeeper for UK Parliament FC, is that no matter the opposition you're going to have plenty to do!🤪 #CouldHaveBeenTen #ThatsMyLineAndImStickingToIt #BackHurtsFromPickingItOutTheNet ParliamentFootball

This morning saw the annual derby between UK Parliament Football Club and Lobby XI. It was a great game which ended with a victory for the Lobby team. With thanks to UKPFC’s sponsor Cadent. As ever, we iNHouse loved organising the match.

We suspect Stephen Kinnock may have some thoughts on this…

It’s been a quadruple-winning season (Man City who?) for the Lobby XI, with big-match victories over Labour, the Conservatives, UK Parliament FC and most recently Westminster Wanderers. We’ve returned victorious from Villa Park, Selhurst Park and, now and again, Battersea Park.

The annual Conservative conference kicks off with the similarly annual win for the Lobby XI. Thanks to the Tory MPs (and many others…) for the game 🤝

TODAY! A Lobby XI featuring stalwarts from over the years (decades? 😬) takes on the Ed Balls Parliamentary All Stars at QPR FC’s Loftus Road to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lobby football team. Who will Ed leave bleeding this time? 🤔

A historic moment today as the Lobby XI played its first ever FA-sanctioned game against Liberal Democrats. A fantastic turnout of seven MPs for the LDs. The Lobby ran out 8-0 winners at Brighton’s training ground - goals from Quinn (3), Tami (2), King (2) and Rajab. Labour next week.

The #LobbyXI is under new management! After 12 years at the helm, Rob Merrick has handed over the captain's baton to Kiran Stacey & Matt Dathan. It's only the third time in our team's 51-year history that the crown has been passed on.

Off to a winning start... Lobby XI beat the Daily Mail 4-1 at Battersea Park last night. First game in charge under the leadership of Kiran Stacey & Matt Dathan. On to the next one in June!

More silverware for Lobby XI as we lifted the annual Caplan Cup after beating Westminster Wanderers Football Club 2-1. Goals from Matt Dathan & Oscar Tami before he went and got himself sent off 🤷‍♂️ Still pulled through in the end. Kiran Stacey and Dathan continue their 100% winning streak 💯⚽🏆

Tonight we celebrated Rob Merrick's 12 years of leadership as LobbyXI captain. Thanks Gaffer 👏⚽👏 Here's to the next 12 🍻.

One of our gifts to former Lobby XI captain, Rob Merrick When our game against Labour MPs hit the headlines in 2014! (As you can see it's clearly an elbow from Ed Balls 😉)

A brave and determined performance from the lads against Labour staffers on Friday night But despite goals from Jack Parker & Ben Riley-Smith, we lost 4-2 However, there are no plans for a reshuffle to turn around our fortunes on the pitch 💪 The Labour Party Ben Riley-Smith
