Here are the tournaments lined up so far for 2006:30/07/06 - Leicester17/09/06 - Barnstaple, North Devon29/10/06 - Andover, Hampshire17/12/06 - Southampton, HampshirePlease ensure you are available on these days. For the Sharks and Thespians to be successful we need you all there, ready to play.

A couple of weeks ago we started to discuss the subject of a small team fee per player. This would cover some of the costs involved with running the team, such as buying the balls, vests, cones and paying for the hosting of this website.It was suggested that each player contribute £10 each for this year. This will cover the costs Neil has already incurred to buy the aforementioned equipment and pay for another 2 years of this site running. Any remaining money can be saved for anything else we need to buy.Andy and I are going to set up a club bank account, so don't worry this isn't going into anyone's pocket!We won't force everyone to pay, but it would be nice if you could support your club financially…

Just to let you know I've updated the 2006 Roster, adding in mugshots of Adam, Ken and Ewan. Scanning the pictures it looks almost as bad as the FBI Mosted Wanted list.Training is on tomorrow - should be another hot day, so bring the sunscreen.Can anyone who is wanting to order a gameshirt please bring any cash tomorrow? Neil needs it all to place the order.cheers

Never forget when the next tournament is ever again - with the all new Sharks Fixtures Calendar!Yep, no excuses anymore - the new calendar (below and sidebar) will be undated on a regular basis to remind you of any upcoming events.The great things is, if you take a look now you'll see a number of tournaments already booked in. So grab a pencil and stick them on your Lucy Pinder or David Beckham calendar now... And never again will you be double-booked come Game Time!See how good I am to you...Edit - 28/06/06 - Actually you can't because i took it down. Nice idea but didn't quite work. I'll add a much simpler version later.

Due to problems with the number of teams able to attend the proposed rearranged tournament in Chichester this Sunday, we have decided to call it off.At the last count we had to reduce it down to friendlies as we did not have enough teams to qualify for an offical league tournament. Then unfortunately, one of the remaining teams had doubts as to whether they could field a team, so we decided the best thing was to call it off.The good news however, is that we get to train on Sunday!! Yay!So no excuses of England victory hangovers - we'll see you all on the field at 10.30am!

BREAKING NEWS!!London Liberty are unable to host their tournament this weekend, so Chichester have offered to stand in as a last minute replacement host.We are currently checking to see how many teams can make it. If we get enough we'll host the tournament on our usual playing field.So far we have Chichester, Voodoo and the Barbarians.More details to come...

Eagerly awaited by the hordes of Chichester Sharks fans (okay, one or two of us maybe), I'm glad to announce the Sharks Store is now open!It's early days but we have a range of t-shirts, hoodies, retro tops, shorts and yes, even pants! So convince your girlfriend Xmas has come early by bringing home her very own Sharks Thong!Just click the t-shirt below to enter the store:Don't worry, the store is safe to buy from as its protected by some very niffy security software. Some of the items - i.e. those with numbers and names on the back - can be personalised so don't forget to add your own details. Otherwise we'll all be running around with my name on our backs and that will be just plain confusing.If you…

As of 1st June here are the current league standings:Due to an irregular number of games for each team, the positions in the table are determined by the team's W/L/T percentage (PCT). Prior to the final tournament of the year (Beach Bowl 17/12/06), the 4 teams with the highest percentages who have played in a minimum of 3 ESFL tournament this season will qualify for the Final Four. These four teams will fight it out for the league title.The Sharks strong showing at the last tournament has moved them up the table and back into the race for the Final Four.

Almost forget this in all the excitement of the day. This is the Chichester team that successfully defended its own turf at the recent home tournament (21/05/06). The day also marked the return of the Thespians. Good times ahead for Chichester!click to enlarge

2006 has seen many changes to the Sharks squad - some longtimers leaving, some old faces coming back and a whole load of fresh blood gracing our playing field to continue the Sharks winning ways.So much so, that we intend, whenever possible, to enter 2 teams in ESFL competitions. The new guys may go by the name of the Thespians, but they are all Chichester Sharks.OFFENSEQB Neil HendersonWR Gary RobinsonWR Pete SteelWR Ben PulleybankDEFENSELB/DB Felix WetzelDB Jon Steele-MillsDB Sam CoakleyS Andy IfouldDB Matt WilliamsAdam LinleyAshley GrantChichester ThespiansThierry SteinJP WalkerBilly BromleyKen HolmesEwan SutherlandJamie PerryRobGarfieldToby ChopraMichael SutherlandJames LambertLuke Nash
