SNOW STOPS PLAY

Training tomorrow (10th) has been cancelled due to not being able to find the pitch under all the snow.
The Council have cancelled all bookings so there isn’t much we can do, even if we could play on skis.
Hopefully all will be okay to start 2010 training next week.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the Chichester Sharks!
2009 was a good year for the Sharks, finishing 2nd in the English Conference and 4th overall in Britain. However, we’re aiming to go further in 2010, with a shot at the British title.
To do that we’re going to need a strong off-season and the addition of some new [...]

Get a headstart on the New Year Exercise – Come train Sunday!

The last couple of training sessions of 2009 are upon us.  Just got time to squeeze in a bit of a runaround before we all over indulge this Christmas.
This Sunday training is ON – 10 a.m. at New Park, Chichester.
See you there – and bring a mate, the more the merrier.

STOP PRESS: Training rained off

Due to the heavy rain this week, Chichester Council have cancelled all pitch bookings to protect the playing surfaces. As such there will be no training for the Sharks this Sunday.
Details for next Sunday’s trip to London for friendlies against the Rebels and Kings will be released soon.

New Season Nearly Upon Us

With the 2009 BAFL Flag season running from April to September the football is about to get serious again!

It seems like an age since we last played a competitive game that meant something (7 months if you’re counting at home) and I know many of you are eager to get going again.

There are several new faces on the Sharks this year – Rob, Mike, Alex, Ben and Bob to name just a handful – the result of a good off season of recruitment. We have a good squad size now, hopefully we can start getting everyone to turn up on the same day now!

New Website launched

In advance of the new 2009 BAFL Flag season, the Chichester Sharks have launched a new website. Apart from a brand new look, the site includes a number of new features. Have a play around with the site to see what’s different.

Generally, it’s a lot more flexible to up keep from my perspective – though a bit more complicated so it will under go a few changes over the coming months whilst I get to grips with it.

If anyone has any suggestions on what they’d like to see on the site, please let me know – either by email or by using the Contact page on the website. Thanks for any input.
