Sharks Go 7 - 1 Well done everyone that played today in Leicester - it was an excellent performance and beating both the Jets and the Eagles has put us in a great position in the playoff race. Both Leicester and Coventry were unbeaten before today, so it was essential we came away with the wins. Results: Sharks 47 - 18 Jets Sharks 35 - 28 Eagles Jets 26 - 41 Eagles [caption id="attachment_312" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The Victorious Chichester Sharks"][/caption] Below are the match reports I've submitted to the league. Sorry I couldn't mention everyone - it's hard to condense 80 minutes of football into a few paragraphs. Suffice to say, our 2 victories were a total team effort. Well done to all that played defense, those that played offense…

This Sunday, the Sharks travel to Leicester to play against the Eagles, long-term rivals from the old days of the ESFL, and adult flag newcomers, the Coventry Cassidy Jets. With all three teams having made strong starts to the 2008 season, the games are likely to be highly competitive. The winning team will also make progress towards claiming a place at the British championship in September.

Many of you will remember Matt from previous seasons with the Sharks and will be aware that he is now playing kitted football with Sussex Thunder. This week Matt played an instrumental part in the Thunder's win over South Conference rivals the Norwich Devils. Behind 6-0 in the first half, Matt scored a 4 yard touchdown to tie the game up. Thunder never lost the lead from that point and went on to win 20-6. Read the full game report here. The Thunder have a gap in their schedule soon, so Matt will be attempting to come down soon to join us at training. Well done, Matt, on your season so far.

Just to draw your attention to the date of our next tournament - 13th July in Leicester. We'll be playing against the Leicester Eagles and the Coventry Jets. Both teams are currently undefeated, so it would be good to take our strongest team possible. Therefore, please every effort to ensure you're available for this trip. There is no training next Sunday (29th June), so please attend the week after (6th July) for our final tournament preparation. Well done to all those who trained today, it was an enjoyable session and very hot. I have the sunburn to prove it! Welcome to Martyn, who joined us today - I hope you enjoyed the session and hopefully we'll see you back on the 6th.

Just to confirm that training is this Sunday - 22nd June. It would be good to see as many of the squad there as possible, as we have a two big games coming up, going against unbeaten teams, Leicester (1-0) and Coventry (2-0). Also, hoping to have a couple of new players come along - one former Voodoo player and another a former QB for Southampton Stags / Cardiff Cobras. For existing players, please remember to bring your quarterly sub money (£6) on Sunday, as I have bills to pay! See you Sunday ****************************** If you have come to this site because you're looking to play flag football or american football, but don't live anywhere near Chichester, then check out how to start your own american football team.
