We've made it to the big time, fellas.We're obviously so famous that we're now the answer to a Trivia Question - 'In sporting terms, who are the Sharks?'(scroll to the bottom of that page)OK, so we're not alone in sharing that honour but it was nice of someone to think of us :)It won't be long before the record number of TDs caught by Pete in one season becomes the £250,000 question on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'...

The (likely) final tournament to be held in West Ruislip, saw some great football but very, very bad weather. The Sharks had the misfortune of kicking off their first match against Voodoo in a torrential downpour, which pretty much set the tone of day and kept us wet and grumpy too.The London Liberty, who hosted the tournament, are soon to be posted back to the States and so wanted one last home tournament before they swapped the drizzly grey skies of the UK for the glorious blue skies of Florida. They pretty much wanted to kick our butts too, which they managed to do going unbeaten on the day.There was no G-TV camera crew available for this tournament so I don't have the luxury of giving you a blow by…

This Sunday is the penultimate tournament of the 2006 season. The tournament is to be hosted by London Liberty at West Ruislip.It kicks off at 11 a.m., so we'd need to leave the car park at 8.30 a.m.Please let me know here, text or email if you are coming or not - plus if you are able to drive.I must know numbers asap so let me know as soon as you know.cheers

OK, so it took a while, but one small cable off ebay later, I've finally been able to edit the first video from the Halloween Bowl - Chichester vs Chatham - the battle of the Sharks (though we know is the original...).For the first time I left every play in there - so you can watch the whole game uninterrupted. It has bit of everything, 3 scores on O and great D - check out how few completions they make - great work guys.Here it is.The rest will have to wait until I'm back from the Big Apple. Go Bears!!

There are two tournaments left this season and we would like to send 2 teams to both.The first is in TWO weeks time on the 26th November in Ruislip, London.The second is the Beach Bowl Finals in Westergate on the 17th December. This tournament is not just for the Final Four teams, there will be another tournament running alongside, which the Thespians can enter.Please ensure you are available for both dates.

There are a number of discussions going on over at the league forum that concern the future of our league.Please, please do go visit, register and join the discussion. It is important that as many people get involved as possible. You have an opportunity to shape the game we all love to play.Please take a look now.

I've updated the Roster page to reflect the many recent additions to the Thespians and the return of JP to the fold.Check it out hereEDIT: Unfortunately, Luke Nash broke his knee cap on Sunday, in a collision at training. He'll be out now for 8 weeks, which will end his season. Hopefully, he'll be ready to go for the Thespians at the first tournament of 2007.

Here is an update from the league on the Final Four...Following the Halloween Bowl, the top four look to have cemented their positions in the Final Four end of season English Championship. Only the London Liberty emerged from the tournament with more wins than losses, though they remain in second place behind the Leicester Eagles who went 2-3 at Halloween Bowl. Leicester still lead the way with a win/lose % of 76. The Barbarians had to pull out half way through Halloween Bowl due to be short of players after injury, and went 0-4, and dropped from 3rd to 4th in the overall league standings. They have been replaced in 3rd place by the Chichester Sharks. Team Voodoo and the North Devon Dogs still have a shot at a Final…

Following their good showing at the Voodoo tournament this past weekend, Thierry has written a match report for their four games.From the Spinning Frenchman himself...'Hello sports fans. On Sunday 29th of October the new Thespians team played their best tournament result so far. Scoring two touchdowns and winning a game (granted the win was by forfeit) but it’s the win that counts; we also had a tie against Voodont - who went on to win every other game they played up until Voodoo, but I don’t know what happened there. The grounds for the tournament where brilliant, there were changing rooms, toilets, somewhere to buy food and a place to stock up on football gear from MH football shop, which had a table beside the grandstand. It was by far…

Well done guys, for a fantastic effort on Sunday. The results may not have gone our way, but I saw a great determination and commitment from both teams. And it was a lot of fun!There were a lot of positives to take from the day:1) we entered two teams. This is impressive in its own right. Very few teams in the league are able to field the number of players we have on our squad. I'm very pleased to see how our team has grown this year. It was only 10 months ago that our squad numbers fell to 5-7 players. We were faced with the prospect of the team folding, but strong recruitment efforts - through word of mouth, in the papers and on the web - has built…
