Thank you and well done to all the players who travelled to Tidworth today to take on the Dogs in a couple of friendlies. The outcome was 2-0 to the Sharks, with an incredibly close first game ending 28-27, followed by a 47-7 second game. It was good to see the team respond from being behind in the first game, starting our final drive at our 5 with 19 seconds left in the game. Some great passing from Neil and equally great hands from the receivers, resulted in a TD with just seconds left. Rather than settle with the tie, we went for 2 and the win - which we got! Players today were: Neil, Dayle, Dave, Gary, Toby, Sean and Josh. Johnny, if you're reading this, I hope your…

Both the results and league tables have now been updated to reflect our recent games and other league activity. The Sharks (5-1) are looking strong in the English Conference following our recent two wins, with only Mildenhall and Coventry ahead of us by merit of winning percentage (both 2-0). The competition in Scotland is looking fierce, with Kirkcaldy (5-0) and Carluke (5-1) leading the pack. Leicester and Glasgow (Tigers) have both yet to play a game.

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.

There is no training this Sunday as we travel down to Barnstaple in Devon to face old rivals the North Devon Dogs and new BAFL Flag team the St Albans Kings who we beat in the first set of games a month ago. Training resumes in Chichester on Sunday 18th May.

This week training will be held at Christ's Hospital school, near Horsham. The session will commence at 10 a.m. with an hour in the classroom before taking to the field until 2 p.m. If you need a lift from Chichester, let Neil or myself know. We'll be leaving the usual car park at New Park at 8.45 a.m. The training will be on grass so bring studs, plus £2.50 for pitch hire.

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…
