From: Roger Thomson <Roger.Thomson@oyster.com> Subject: News from London Winter League Matchday#4 Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 13:43:52 -0000 Another cracking day of outdoor ultimate on Clapham Common saw more upsets than ever (3 out of 16 games) - and one team took £50 off me for beating a Clapham team! Well done TeamShark for winning a keenly contested pool game 10-7 against a far-from-understaffed Clapham 2. I'm sure you'll send the photos round Britdisc soon enough... 1/ Clapham 1 2/ TeamShark 3/ Clapham 2 4/ Fluid Druids 5/ Un Poco Loco 6/ Smash & Grab 7/ NightFever 8/ Red The final saw the Clapham 1 team, having beaten the Druids 13-1 in the game before, come up against a Sharks team full of confidence after their historic win. But lightning never strikes twice and the Clapham team were in the mood to show their teammates just why they were the first team; the Sharks suffered a 15-3 battering they won't forget in a while, and the Clapham coach went home happy that the military-grade practice schedule is starting to pay off handsomely (at least for half of us..). Un Poco Loco fared much as expected, retaining their seeding - but they didn't manage to get past the Druids in pool play as they'd have liked to. Smash & Grab and NightFever both beat the midland visitors Red, who had been seeded 6th and would have been relegated had this not been the last in the series! The London Winter League Final is on Saturday March 2nd so that we can share more than a few beers afterwards rather than worrying about work the next day. More details to follow soon. A month after that it'll be Tour 1 somewhere; it's going to be interesting to see how much good the Winter League has done the participating teams. Why anyone was playing indoors over such a beautiful weekend is beyond me :-) Silver Bear cu#1 PS Milky, you're a scumbag for running off without paying. One of your teammates kindly stumped up on your behalf and will no doubt hit you for the £30. ----------------------------------------------------------- Internet communications are not secure and therefore Oyster Partners Ltd does not accept legal responsibility for the contents of this message.
