Ruislip Report
The Sharks fortunes at last weekend's Ruislip tournament were as about as mixed as the weather. Blazing sunshine one minute, torrential downpour the next.After a bit of frantic last minute encouragement (harassment in some cases!), we were able to draw together a team of 9 players. The starting O was intact, but due to injuries and other commitments the starting D was a little decimated.We were lucky enough to welcome back some familiar faces - Jon, Matt, Sam and Jut - and considering they'd not played together for quite a while, they did a good job as our new defense.We should have known what kind of day it was going to be when we lost a third of our team on the A27 - 5 minutes into our journey. The…
Tournament Time Change

Ruislip Tournament 9th April
Hi AllThis sunday we'll be travelling to Ruislip near London for a tournament hosted by the London Liberty (formerly UA).Kick-off is at 11am. The journey takes about an hour and a half, depending on traffic so I suggest we depart the usual car park at 8.30am.Here is a map of where we need to end up.I suggest however, we head up in convoy. Neil, I guess you're driving? And Matt volunteered too - will your car make it with 4 passengers?Is anyone else coming that hasn't told me yet? We have 7 players but it would be good to have more.For those that are coming, bring a dark game shirt plus a few quid for the referees (this is not a bribe, just paying for their efforts!).See you all Sunday…
Next 2 Weekends Update
Right, a few changes to the plans.Unfortunately, Brighton are unable to get a side together for a scrimmage this Saturday so the game has been postponed to a later date.Consequently, this late change has meant we cannot switch days and hold training on the Sunday. This is because a number of people already made plans that cannot be changed at late notice.OK, so when are we playing next?Don't worry, the next game is next Sunday. The tournie at Ruislip - home to the newly named London Liberty (formerly UA).During the coming week I'll post up travel details (any volunteers for drivers - need 2) once the kickoff time is established.Players committed so far:NeilPeteJPBenMeJutMattC'mon, who else is up for it? Text me or leave a comment here.cheers
Shark Bowl?
Sean is in the process of organising the Sharks' night out.He suggests the 22nd of April for bowling at the Bowlplex at City Gate in Chichester, followed by food at the Smith & Western afterwards.Can you let me know here or by email if you are up for this and whether you intend to bring your partner?We need to know numbers pretty quickly for the booking.cheers
What price would you pay to go to the Superbowl?
A grand? three? five?How about 5 years in prison?That's exactly what it cost the brother of Pittsburgh Steelers safety Tyrone Carter. The guy had been caught driving with a suspended license and was due to report to prison on Jan. 6 for a six month term.Except his brother told him the Steelers had a good chance of going to the Superbowl. So he went on the run for a few weeks, before turning up to watch the Superbowl from great seats at the 50 yard line. He also then partied with Snoop Dogg after the game.Apparently the judge wasn't too impressed and extended the 6 month sentence to FIVE YEARS!He said after the hearing,"Even knowing what I know now, I would do it again. It was the greatest game in…
Brighton vs Chichester – Scrimmage
On the 1st April we're hoping to not look like Fools, as the Chichester Sharks play host to the new flag team from Brighton Tsunami for a series of friendly scrimmages.The Tsunami are a University kitted team looking at the possibility of playing flag in their off-season. Organised by our very own Jut Handley (a student somehow??), the team will be visiting Chichester on Saturday 1st April to play a few games against the Sharks.This is not a league tournament, just an opportunity for both sides to get some friendly game experience. It is hoped that if the day proves popular we can host regular scrimmages with our neighbours throughout the year.For Shark players this is an ideal opportunity to run the new playbook in a game situation before we…
Sharks gone to the Dogs
No, not Devon, the real dogs...Sean has suggested that we arrange a night out for the team - anyone up for it?His suggestion was going to the Dogs in Portsmouth or out somewhere for a meal. And not just a p*** up either! Maybe even something where other halves could come if they want to (or if they exist!)Post your interest below - preferably with a suggestion of where we could go and any dates that might be ideal.Just nobody tell Jut... ;-)
