Finally, after much work by Neil coordinating with other teams, we now have a finalised fixture list for the 2008 BAFL Flag football season.
The Sharks will play each of the following teams twice this season:
Coventry Jets
Kent Exiles
Leicester Eagles
Mildenhall Mayhem
North Devon Dogs
St. Albans Kings
West Kent Wing Dings
We have already kicked off the flag football season with a narrow loss to Mildenhall and the victory over St. Albans, but here is the Sharks’ fixture list in full (home team in bold):
Sun 6th April – vs Mildenhall Mayhem + St. Albans Kings
Sun 20th April – vs West Kent Wing Dings + Kent Exiles
Sun 11th May – vs North Devon Dogs + St. Albans Kings
Sun 13th July – vs Leicester Eagles + Coventry Jets
Sun 3rd August – Home vs North Devon Dogs and Kent Exiles
Sat 16th August – vs Coventry Jets + West Kent Wing Dings
Sun 24th August – Home vs Leicester Eagles and Mildenhall Mayhem
Our next match is just a week and a half away, with a trip to Kent to take on the two local teams.
The other flag football teams competing in the BAFL Flag league this year are in the Scottish conference. They are:
Aberdeen Oilcats
Carluke Cobras
Dundee Storm
East Kilbride Pirates
Glasgow Hornets
Glasgow Tigers
Grangemouth Broncos
Kirkcaldy Bulls
Lanarkshire Steelers
West Coast Trojans
We won’t be meeting them in regular season play, but there is a chance to go up against them if we make it to the playoffs in September.
Please make sure you’re free to play in all our regular season matches!
Well done to Neil on completing the onerous task of confirming fixtures for all of the English teams (and not just our own games)! Team members should have received an e-mail from me this morning, confirming all dates, including those for training. Four immediately worth highlighting:
Sunday, 13 April: Last chance to train before the West Kent tournament (bring £1 pitch fee)
Sunday, 20 April: Second League tournament
Sunday, 27 April: Proposed scrimmage with North Devon Dogs in Tidworth
Sunday, 4 May: Training at Christ’s Hospital (bring £2 fee and packed lunch, if you’re planning to stay for Madden)
