Shambles Football Team

Sunday 9th July sees the Shambles non-World Cup! 8 teams : Squads of 10 players each. 8-a-side football, including goalkeepers. Playing on half-pitches. Each game 20 mins long. Location: TaiPingSi. Total time: from 10 am to 5pm (maybe 6 if timing gets a bit sticky) How to get there: Bikes, cars and taxis : it's not that far. Meet at the Shamrock at 10 am on Sunday morning. Cost: Shambles paid-up members: 20 rmb, non-members 40 rmb Let Joel (joelbarrand@yahoo.co.uk) know if you want to play. What do you get for your time and money? 1. A fun tournament of 8-a-side footy, probably refereed (no, not by Mark)! 2. Water (wow!) 3. A trophy for your team! 4. Injured, perhaps. We hope not, but you never know. 5. Some beers and or soft drinks back at the Shamrock. It is supposed to be fun, you will get a lot of football, and we can re-use our excuses for not winning last time - what could be better? There might even be some special footy skills competitions just to pep things up a bit. We need 5 or 6 other teams (it is only 40 rmb for each player, which is a bargain!). If you know a team that wants to play, ask them to call Joel on 13547914427, or Foxy 13980409390. Hope to see you there. It should be a good one. 3 teams have signed up already, and we will get more in the next couple of days.

It's May 2006 and the site has just passed 4000 hits, a number almost as large as the number of free beers we've guzzled. So, there's another dubious reason to celebrate. Well played.

Teams chosen on basis of those members who have signed up for the Shambles... Please remember the captain and vice captain have control of substitutions. Be nice to them!
