Old Boys Div9 2014

Post by Ernie Cooksey »

As we gear up for another few months of shenanigans, to kick it all off and ease into it, on Sunday 9th March, MJAFC will be hosting a light hearted social 5 a side tournament for o35s only using the inflatable pitches used for our annual Phoenix Cup tournament.
The format and structure will be determined by the amount of responses received. I will be contacting various clubs through different means but thought this is a good place to start.
There will be an entry fee of $50 per team, in order to cover the cost of the pitch hire, and various avenues are being pursued to organise a prize of some sort. Full bar and barbecue will be provided.
Anybody interested in putting a team in, please pm me here.

:lol:
The 5 a side comp is slowly coming together, a possible list of teams so far looking like:
Old Jets
Really Old Jets
Westies
Whyalla
Brahma
Gully
Downs
Easties
Inter

Haven't been able to get on touch with vale or grove so far, if anybody connected with any team not mentioned feels like putting an old boys team together, let me know.

The idea is for this tourney to become the curtain raiser for our season on this long weekend every year. It will be a chance for the whole league to get together, mingle, share contact details for the upcoming season, and generally just get to know each other better and have a few beers when it's all finished. It will only ever be light hearted, and in the name of fun. Sponsors for prizes are in the pipeline, but for this first year, we will just concentrate on the organisation and success of the day.

I could just remember you expressing an interest in the comp at the Fed ground a couple of years ago that fell through. And you do actually comply with the rules of our league, being over 30, so if you are keen for a giggle and a few coldies, we should be able to fit you in somewhere.

I'll be over 35 in about 2 months.

So I'm happy to be a fill-in if needed.

Trust me Bacon would fit perfectly into an Over 35's set up for those very reason.

He must have mistaken it for the SAASL allowing clubs to have more than one team in division nine.

The Fossils are supreme athletes you should know that. So don't doubt yourself. No problem. Might be a bit blotchy for a few days but after that no worries.

Send your details to Blueblood (Mod Jets O35's) and list your achievements.

A few tips: beer drinking is one of the biggest attributes he looks for in his players.

You could probably say that about most O35 teams.
I tend to go off on a tangent
