Bath Eights weekend

[streborkin]

I am tempted to run the mixed tournament on the Bath Eights Sunday again (this will be the 5th).
Although its me on my own, I feel we get a good response and a good time is had by all.
I've always kept it relatively quiet, but might expand if theres an interest.
Basically which mixed teams would be up for it?

Of course it would mean the chance to come to the mens the day before and get loaded in the evening in Bath.
Last 4 years it's been £25 per team.

[snooplax]

Sure we can field a Gin & Juice mixed team again.

[chippie]

nic....

how about a ladies tournie as part of the bath 8's sure there would be lots of interest in such a great tournie

[streborkin]

Tried to get the ladies interested but no joy.
There is no room on the Saturday at all for anything else, so it has to be Sunday.

[cheekylaxstuff]

can we not annex the rugby stadium

[dmiddie]

Wouldn't argue with those boys! Did you see some of them last year before they set off to play Bristol? What would it be like if they took up lacrosse?

[KingOfStaffs]

I’m sure staffs could raise a team possible 2, but what would be the format?

8-aside
10-minute halfs
Would fella’s have to use women’s sticks?

[mandy]

can't remember the format each time (usually too hung over from the night before to have a clue what's going on), but no fella's haven't had to use women's sticks in the past and given strborkin's post in another thread on this issue and he's the guy organising it i can't see any change in that rule!

[Ash]

i might be wrong but i was under the impression that the mixed tournament last year was full teams. but i could be wrong.

Hows that young guy who got hit ion the face with the ball behind the fastest shot competition! That wasn't the nicest of injuries!!

[Mat P]

Yeah, hope that kid was ok after, he took a fair hit!

[whopead]

Bath Mixed tournie was Quality last year....and i scored the winner in over time in the final past one of my team mates from Wilmslow....thought he had it....bounced off the corner of his stick into the top corner.....classic!!

[streborkin]

Yes it will be any stick, no rising shots 4 second carry. No beer on the pitch.
Patrick (the kid that got one in the face) scored his first goal for the 1st team against the Walcountian Blues just before Xmas.

I have booked the field early this time so theMini rugby should be absent.

Would be great to have a mixed/ladies day on the sunday after Bath 8's. I play for Bath ladies and we always end up joining teams who are short of players, we don't seem to be able to get the mens Bath team to come along and play mixed. I ended up playing for the Bath juniors team last year at the mixed tournie, was really good fun, but womens would be fab and a good warm up game before the season starts.

[G-DoGg]

Cardiff club should be there. We'll actually try to beat G+J this year. Losing by 1 goal in the semi's isn't somethng you forget easily.

[Mr.Stanford]

yo grindle, your looking like a home boy here too!

Ye poor kid with the nose, thats why goalies should never shoot!

[oldman]

We'd be up for Mixed 8s at Bath. Where do we sign up?

Oldman

[G-DoGg]

yo grindle, your looking like a home boy here too!

Ye poor kid with the nose, thats why goalies should never shoot!

[Mr.Stanford]

She said you have the attittude of a home boy but sadly not the equipment.

[streborkin]

Rules will be loosely;

7 mins each half
Min 5 of one gender
Subs on the fly
Any stick
No rising shots

And all those "Juniors" are 16 now, hair and hormones all over the place so bath Ladies beware. If you would like to help on the day that would be a welcome sight.
