The 350 mile round trip to Llanharan in Wales to play two top teams was never going to be easy. Nor was travelling with only 6 available players. Warming up in a gravel car park was a little unexpected too.

That said, the Sharks fought hard, beating the Basingstoke Zombie Horde 53 – 31 in the opening match, before succumbing to the South Wales Warriors 48 – 25. Given the calibre of teams, a 1-1 result on the day was a positive.

The 2011 BAFACL flag season started with a bang this weekend, with 4 of the 6 teams in action, racking up 45+ points in their opening matches.

As is traditional this time of year, we have a chance to reflect on 2010. It was a challenging season for the Sharks, but a successful one. Our player numbers were a little lower than in previous years and we had a tough playing schedule, but through it all we preserved and produced our eighth [...]

Needing a win to qualify for the playoffs, the Chichester Sharks did it in emphatic style beating the Coventry Jets 50-7 in their final regular season game. With Woodham Warriors (White) already qualified, four teams – Basingstoke, South Wales, London and Chichester – were fighting for the final two playoff places. After the Sharks’ last [...]

Sorry for the lateness of this post, it’s been a busy few weeks recently. Which is a shame because I missed a write-up of one hell of a match. A game for the ages. More of which later. So, as we near the end of July, how are the Sharks doing in the race for [...]
