It has been announced that there is currently a tie for the final spot in this year's Hall of Fame class.Each year the ESFL allows its members to vote in a number of players (this year its 2) to the league's Hall of Fame. The first player has been announced - Craig Broughton of the Leicester Eagles - but two Sharks QB Nick Watson and WR Pete Steel are currently tied for 2nd. Only one can make it, but which one?It's such a difficult decision considering each has contributed significantly to the success of the other. By my reckoning there can't be another QB/WR tandem that has been more prolific in yards and scoring than these two over the last four years.If you dare, you can cast your vote by…

If like me, your football kit is falling apart and your boots are held together with tape, you might want to take a look at Eastbay.com. They're having a bit of a sale on certain items - and being in the States the prices are much better than buying the same thing here. Just make sure you check out their International Size Conversion page...Click here for their Cleat Sale. And a pretty big selection from the football section of Amazon.comOr a little closer to home - a new site to me AmericanFootballUK.comAnd an old favourite - eBay.co.uk - bought a few things off here myself, great for game/practice shirts, balls and gloves.I for one have my new boots from Eastbay, so you'd better get yourself something good-looking to wear, because…

The sun was setting, the temperature began to drop and mist was creeping across the playing fields. The Sharks had just uncharacteristically lost two games in a row and were faced with the prospect of the last tournament of the year being their first with a losing record. We were tired, cold, hungover and wanting to go home.But this was the end of a great season for the Sharks and we couldn't go out like this. The talk of not going home losers began, the spirits rose and we ran out onto the field.South Wales Rebellion left the field 20 minutes later on the wrong end of a 28-12 scoreline. Now that's Shark football.It was a great year for the Chichester Sharks. We broke records and bones. We scored and…

The 2005 season is over. Its time to stash your muddy boots away, untape those fingers and let the bruises heal. It was a long season for the Sharks - with a record 34 games played - the most in the league. And a few other records fell our way too. But we'll get to that later.A review of the season will trickle from my fingers as soon as they can bend the right way and the swelling has subsided.For now, enjoy the off-season - it's a long one this year - 2 weekends off!See you all back at training at 10.30am on Sunday 8th January!Happy New Year!

Here are the final standings for the 2005 season:Leicester Eagles 19-3 - 0.864%Chichester Sharks 26-7-1 - 0.779%Barbarians 15-12 - 0.556%Team Voodoo 4-8-3 - 0.367%North Devon Dogs 6-17-1 - 0.271%Chatham Sharks 2-9 0.182%Eastbourne Crusaders 3-21-1 - 0.140%To qualify for the final league standings a team must have played in at least 3 tournaments during the year. The positions in the table are determined by the percentage of wins, e.g. Leicester won 19 of its 22 games, which is 0.864%. Whilst the Sharks played more games than Leicester, we unfortunately lost more, impacting our win percentage. A little unfair perhaps, but difficult to avoid with an irregular number of games per team.
