If you search on the phrase 'Madden 2006 Tournament' on Google.com you'll find about 2,670,000 pages on the web. That's a lot of pages.So tell me how on earth our lil' old Sharks site happens to be the No.2 site in the world???!!!(We're No.8 in the world for 'Madden Tournament' too!)I'd like to put that down to my web savvy and genius but I can't, I have no idea.So to all our visitors coming in from the US and Canada this week, 'Welcome', I hope you enjoy the site, sorry you can't make it to training this week, but if you're ever in the neighbourhood do stop by.As for the rest of you limber up your thumbs, the Madden tournament is about to start...

...but it's amusing nonetheless. Take a look at the new game the Voodoo have put together.Current top scorer is our very own Bobby Beauchamp (aka Sean) with 73 points (which i think he's fibbing about because i could only get 46). Post your scores up here.Good training session today everyone - who would have thought drills could be so much fun??See you all next Sunday.

For you gamers out there, Julian is arranging a Madden tournament amongst Sharks players. The dates are yet to be finalised but it will involve a draft and a season schedule.A similar event took place a couple of years ago and proved very popular and a good laugh.If you're interested, register your interest here in the comments - not forgetting to say which team you'd like to be - and Julian will contact you to discuss details.

I've added the mug shots from Sunday to the Roster page. Let me know if you have any suggestions for what information goes next to them or whether we just keep it as just photos...Does anyone know Little Sam's surname - seems daft referring to him that way?One other thing, even if you select the 'Anonymous' option when leaving comments (to avoid registering with Blogger) can you leave your name with your comment? It's just I have no idea who's talking to me!Here is the new team photo. Try and spot the 'added in afterwards' player... :)

Good training today guys, especially on D - not a lot of running room. Don't know about you, but i enjoyed doing more drills rather than play all the way through. Gives us more opportunity to work on stuff.As promised, there are a few new photos on the site, a couple below and more on the Photos page. I'll take/add more as the season goes on.I've got a headshot of everyone who attended today, when i get a chance i'll add them to a revamped Roster page. Any suggestions on what information we want to put next to each photo? See you all next Sunday, same time, same place.

I think these two play on 'Special' teams...Feel free to provide any suggested captions...

Training is on this Sunday - usual time and place.Please bring your white Sharks game shirt as we'll be taking a team photo.We'll be using this to help us get some space in the newspaper, so we can hopefully attract some new players.cheers

Anyone dried out yet?What happened to the recent crisp blue skies?? 3 hours of solid drizzle - what a way to start the year!Still, we had a good turnout, saw a new face (welcome Michael) and had a good scrimmage before the fingers went blue and we all had to head home.For anyone that didn't make it or for those with goldfish memories, we also had a chat about the 2006 season, about getting a little more organised. We covered quite a few topics, including fitness, finances, playbooks and Justin's fishnet crop top.Favourite PositionWe appointed a few new team positions as follows:Team Manager: Neil Henderson (like being the league Chairman isn't enough)Offensive Captain: Gary Robinson Defensive Captain: Julian 'Ejected' Simms Fitness Coach: Sean ScuttI already have 7 new plays drawn…

Just a couple of days to go now...The 2006 season kicks off with pre-season training on Sunday 8th Jan, 10.30 am, at the usual place. It's important everyone attends as we have a lot to discuss and sort out with regards to the team for the new season. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how you think the team/training/anything can be run/organised then this is the time to air your views.See you all on the playing field this Sunday!P.S. As you can see, our off-season cheerleader recruitment drive was a success

Want to give Flag Football a go?No Kit NecessaryFor those who have turned up here by accident or those that just want to know what we spend our Sunday's doing in Chichester, here is a very brief overview of Flag Football...Flag Football is a (pretty much) non-contact version of American Football. The game is played as 5-a-side and teaches the fundamentals of American Football. The big difference is you tackle by removing the flag (not the head) of the opposition. While the tournaments are competitive, it's still a Sunday league so the emphasis is on taking part and having some fun - it doesn't really matter how old you are, how big or small, or how fit or unhealthy (just take a look at the team photos).It's a simple game…
