Great news for all! National league is more or less two weeks away…
And is there a better way to welcome the start of the season than a few pre-season games? The next 10 days will be quite busy for all as we have:
- A friendly game against Invicta on Sunday 24/08 at the Lido, with the men meeting at 5.45pm for Danny’s team talk. There will probably be Women’s game right after.
- A Middlesex Div. 2 game against Ealing Crabs on Tuesday 26/08 at the Lido, starting at 6.45pm. It is the last game of the league.
- The Middlesex Div. 1 Final against Penguin on Wednesday 27/08 at 8pm at Clissold. The women will be training at ULU this Wednesday.
- A friendly game against Otter on Sunday 31/08 at the Lido. It should be a 7pm start, so we will be meeting at 5.45pm for another team talk.
It is really important everyone plays as many – if not all – games. We have the first NL weekend on 6-7/09 at Sheffield, playing against Cheltenham, Penguin and Bristol. I understand that over the last 2-3-4 seasons, it takes the team a few weekends to switch on and start playing to our potential, but by then we have already lost games and we end up fighting to stay in Division 1. With so many pre-season games scheduled this year we should be able to change that.
We have had a really good turn out on training for the last two weeks, let’s keep it up from now on. For those that were not there on Wednesday, we had 6-7 old boys training with the team at Clissold, looking in good shape. Shall I propose a Men’s vs. Old Boys friendly game at some point??
On the social aspect, some of us will be meeting this weekend. The Notting Hill Carnival is on Sunday and Monday and there is a massive Olympic Games handover party on Sunday at the Mall. Perfect opportunity for a few drinks…
