Sharks Go West

This Sunday sees the Chichester Sharks travel to the West Country to face long time rivals, the North Devon Dogs and newcomers, the St. Albans Kings. The Sharks and Dogs have been squaring up for years, facing each other 10 times whilst in the ESFL. The Sharks hold the advantage going 9-1 in that time. This weekend will see the teams against each other for the first time in the new BAFL Flag league. It will also be the Dogs opening game of the season. The Kings are in their inaugural season and currently sit at the foot of the league table with an 0-2 record, including a 33-6 defeat at the hands of the Sharks on opening weekend.

Results Tables Updated

I've updated the league tables following a number of games in Scotland this past weekend. The results are as follows: Aberdeen 25 - 27 Dundee East Kilbride 19 - 35 Aberdeen East Kilbride 25 - 33 Dundee Aberdeen 25 - 20 East Kilbride Lanarkshire 39 - 33 Glasgow Hornets Looking at the table below, the early front runners in Scotland are the Kirkcaldy Bulls - one of the strongest British teams of recent years. They have got off to a cracking start, averaging 50 points a game on Offense! In England, Mildenhall are matching the Bulls pace, closely followed by our very own Sharks! We're currently averaging around about 40 points, whilst only conceding 10. A great start and something that we can hopefully build on throughout the rest of…

Flag Football Videos – Youtube

The game film from our matches against West Kent Wing Dings and Kent Exiles are now available on here and Youtube. As the matches are longer this season, I've had to cut the games into halves, as Youtube limit the video length. Most of our flag football videos are now available from our Film Room, but here is a taster to start you off: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3hXJhobDdY] More flag football videos here

Clean Sweep for Sharks in Kent

Well done to all that played in our Kent matches yesterday. Everyone played really well and our 2 victories were a total team effort. Both sides of the ball dominated yesterday - we racked up 105 points and conceded just 6! The two Kent teams were a bit of an unknown to us, and whilst new boys West Kent are obviously still learning the game, the Exiles could be a threat to teams with their squad size and experience of the kitted game. So it was particularly pleasing that we came away with 2 victories and in such impressive fashion. Before I get into the scorers, a special mention must go to the defense yesterday. Despite the fact we were missing a few players, those that played did an outstanding job!…

Strong start for Sharks

Well done to all the guys that struggled through the snow to Mildenhall yesterday, to kick off the Sharks 2008 season. I'm gutted I couldn't make it (the boy is now fine btw). By all accounts you put up a good fight and gave the Mayhem a run for their money. Just a shame they went and ruined it for you with a last second TD. Extra nod to the performance of two new guys, Sean and Tom (well kinda new in Tom's case), who both racked up a couple of scores apiece, with some great catches. I also hear there was a 2 length-of-the-field TD performance from our 'retired' Coach Kirby. That would have been fun to see. It's a little hard for me to write the day up…

Sharks ready for opener

Well done to everyone who attended our first training camp this weekend at Christ's Hospital. Personally, I thought it was a very enjoyable day - not just from a football point of view but also to get to know the team better. A huge thanks to Dayle for organising the day - well done to you. And also thanks to Neil and Dave for running their respective parts of the day. I hope that everyone who attended got something out of the day. I think we're prepared now for our opening games next weekend. I have written up a release for the local paper, the Observer, plus sent it to the BAFL league site. I've reproduced it here for you: This past weekend saw the Chichester Sharks hosting their 2008…
