...our first video highlights!Take a look at some of the best plays from our game this past weekend against Voodoo.Watch here(the video is hosted on a different site to avoid using up all our bandwidth)The quality of the footage gets a bit mashed during conversion to a web movie, so if anyone wants the full games burned onto CD, let me know and I'll see what I can do.I'll be working on the other two games over the course of the week/weekend, as it takes a little time.

Just a quickie - is anyone else on the team interested in joining our fantasy football league this year?So far I have:MeFelixJonMattNeil(2 friends from our league the last few years)If we have five more players we can make it a private league - but you have to have a computer and time to check it on a frequent basis.Let me know in the next couple of days as we need to book a live draft slot.cheers

Man, I should never have joked about the bus...that was one hell of a journey to Leicester and back!For those who were not there, I could have outrun the bus on some of the hills on our trip - I think 3rd and 4th gear disapp...actually 2nd and most of 1st gear disappeared a loooong time ago.Huge thanks to Thierry for organising the bus and HUGE thanks for Lena (mrs thierry) for driving us there and back - it was much appreciated.I think the acceleration of the bus was an omen - as it wasn't the only thing not firing on all cylinders that day.My apologies to everyone on the team that weekend for the shocking day I had 'receiving'. No idea what happened there - but I have no…

Sharks on Tour this Sunday!Thierry has managed to acquire us a team bus for this Sunday's trip to Leicester. It's costing £79 plus fuel so it will probably cost us £10-12 each - a bargain for the round trip.Can you make sure you bring the money on Sunday as we'll need to pay back Thierry straight away to avoid him being out of pocket.Departure time from the car park is 8.15am on Sunday. Please do not be late!Things to bring:dark t-shirt/game-shirt (just in case someone else is in white)plenty of watersun lotion (forecast to be 23c but could get hot)fooda winning beliefIt's important we get a good turn out this weekend so we can build on the great result (4-0) at the last tournament. A strong showing here can put…

Just a reminder everyone - the next tournament is fast approaching. It will be held on Sunday 30th July at the Belgrave Rugby Club in Leicester.It's been a little while since we last competed, so it will be good to have a strong showing. We'd like to send at least a Sharks team, but a Thespians team too if we can muster enough players.I know its a bit of a drive and not as convenient as home games, but let's not be a fair-weather team - lets support our fellow teams and the league by attending the other tournaments. Please let me know if you're available.cheers

Due to several players not being able to make it Sunday, we have decided to have the weekend off. So no training Sunday, but see you all the following weekend for double the effort ;-)

For the past few years Felix, Neil and myself, along with a few friends, have entered a league in NFL.com's fantasy football.This year we'd like to create a private league, whereby we know all the other team owners - makes it a bit more fun and competitive!Felix, myself, my brother and a friend of ours are already in, so we need to find 8 more team owners - anyone interested?If you have not played before, it's good fun and NFL.com's version is one of the best out there. It's completely FREE and you can do so much with it, it's ridiculous.It starts off with a draft. Unlike UK fantasy football, run by the newspapers and such like, only one team in a league can own a player. So there is…

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
