The Race for the Flag Starts this Weekend!

You cant beat it...that moment at the end of a hard fought season when you realise you are the best, you are the champions. You get to raise the flag, get the medals, bask in the glory. Celtic did just that last Sunday by winning 6-0 to capture the Scottish Premier league. At one point they were 15 points behind their major rivals but clawed their way back to the top of the pile. Well now it's our turn to chase for the flag.....yes, it's finally here...the new season is upon us and our first game in Division 2 of SASL is at home this Sunday, at 10 am vs our old friends and rivals Guilford Bell Curve. It is a great game to start off our new adventure in a tough league and maybe one of the few times we will not be playing an unknown quantity this season. It is a real chance to get off to a winning start!

We have lost Bambi and David for this season and Talat may be an infrequent player this year but we have recruited a few new players with the great effort of Tano. It should be a good squad for the year ahead but we all have to play our part as a squad....no primadonas, no histrionics, no childish behaviour. Lets play as friends and as a squad of players that only want two things....to play our best and to have fun! If we gather points on the way....even better!

If you are in for Sunday put your name on the squad list in the comments section below. The fixture list for the new season is in the pages section top right.

Pre-match post will be out on Friday

  11. Strong Field???? Isn’t that the crappy field use for American Football that intertwine with the baseball field????
    Where is our field coordinator?? Did we fire him to avoid bankruptcy??

    Don't pick on the field coordinator or you will be playing on the I-95 rest area blacktop

  14. I am 50/50 for this Sunday.....may have to be out of town....we really should have started a team practice today before our first opening game against Guilford Bell Curve. We really need to get on the ball on practicing as a team and NOT just showing up on game day......We need to be more committed to practice as a team if we expect to do well in the second division.

    Shower is in the forecast for Sunday.....hope it won't effect the game
