Congratulations Sharks on some excellent football yesterday! EVERY player contributed to our success yesterday and it was a fine example of how well we can play as a team.The results were a bit odd - each team finished with a 2-2 record:Sharks beat Voodoo twiceVoodoo beat Eagles twiceEagles beat Sharks twiceI guess it just goes to show how evenly matched we all are, which leads to some great games of football.We took a strong team, with a nice mix of Sharks and Makos players. It would have been nice to take two teams, but unfortunately there were a number of Makos who could not make the trip. What it did mean was that those Makos who did travel got to play in some very good games and every single one…

It's a nice and early start for us on Sunday. Could all of you coming to Leicester please ensure you get to the car park ready for a 6.30am departure.Its a 3 hour trip so please be there before 6.30am.

Hands up who was happy to get home from the tournament yesterday?Oh, that's right, you'd raise your hand but your shoulder is still frozen from standing in the rain for 7 hours yesterday!Aren't you all glad we play in a 'summer' league?!For anyone fortunate enough not to be in the Chichester/Westergate area yesterday, it was a bit wet. To say the least.And our fortunes on the field were about as bright as the sky, with neither team racking up the victories they were hoping for.It wasn't all doom and gloom though, as despite the weather, both teams put in a spirited performance. Just looking at the score sheet, you can see some bright spots...Makos put up 3 TDs on the MayhemSharks lost by just a point against the new american…
