Individual website banner

Trying to come up with a good banner for my individual website. Basically, it's about my boyfriend's new five-a-side team, Chawton Athletic FC.

Here's idea number one:
Here's idea number two:

Personally, I like idea number one; it's simple and it's clear. Whereas idea number two isn't very clear at all, and there's too much going on. You can't really tell that there's a football pitch behind the writing.

I made my banners by using Fireworks. I imported a couple of graphics and some fonts to try. My font is called FMuniversity, which I thought looked more like a football club font. I did try one called Pep Rally, but it didn't look very professional at all.
