Tomorrow people! 

Weather is supposed to be overcast with occasional sunshine and light showers.

All pumped up.... rain could be handy, lessen the sand in the eyes

yeah, im sure sand in the eyes is a tactic some teams will try to use.

Great fun today. Unlucky to lose the first game due to an own goal and lost the 2nd game with both results being 1-0. We won the third game 3-1. We had many opportunities in the first 2 games but just couldn't find the net. Hope to do it again!

I'm wondering what you were doing for a control?

ive got an idea that im going to fire out on this thread? next year or for a month or 2 this year, what do you think would be the chances of the marinators organising a weekend beach comp at terrigal beach and how many teams you reckon we'd get, ive got a group of friends of about 8-15 who would be able to play. id hope 6 teams for a small comp this year or 8-10 for a larger one next year would be good, we should stick to proper fifa sanctioned beach football rules and organise a comp based on that. id help organise it if i could get some help from the marinators club or contacts through it

your thoughts people? and are there any regular summer beach comps on the coast?

sounds fantastic

i would suggest another though as terrigal may be too crowded for this sort of thing and the sand is a bit soft

I hope it goes ahead as we could have a comp of 6 to 8 teams and a max of 8 players per team. (each team must have 2 females participate to be eligable) I'm sure we could rally enough interest to make it happen. Of course a fee would need to be covered for insurance reasons and goals with nets would also be needed.

i disagree with the 2 girls per team rule, most girls i know arent footballers or sportspeople and tend to avoid sports at all costs and if a team failed to get 2 girls on the day then they would forfeit despite the fact that they may or may not have a full team. a mixed comp without restrictions is a good idea at least for a trial period. i reckon just use the fifa rules which can be found on the website. also 10 players per team with a minimum of 7-8 should be the way as a proper game is a lot longer than the games played on saturday

 

[Ted]

Most girls you know probably arent marinators either skilzy and that is what my suggestion is about. Keeping it all within the marinators for insurance reasons and general fun of the game. Yes we can all go and have 8 premier league players in each team but that isnt much fun for the average player doing it for fun.

 

[skilbeck]

i reckon just get expressions of interest from forum members and other marinator members then just to see how much interest we get. maybe get one of the mods to do something on the home page of the forum or something because not everyone will read this thread and then depending on the quality and quantity of the interest we could come up with a competition structure for next summer (i.e. anything from 4 team round robin comp could work, but 8 to 10 teams would be ideal. more than that would be complicated). as for now we should just probably just continue what what has been happening and have games at terrigal beach or maybe have a bit of a trial run of a small comp

Yep, I'll foist myself on some poor group of sod's who dont deserve me in their side

How freaky is this!!!

While on Marinators forum, (5 minutes ago) I recieved a phone call from a lady who apparently got hit in the nose by a ball during the tournament.

Seemed in good spirits considering she is booked in for an operation on Wednesday.

Don't know how she got my number, I wasn't even their???

She must of remembered the Budgie shirts on the day, then rang the club?

I gave her the Mariners number at HQ.

Did anybody see this happen?

 

[marinermick]

didn't see it

the players had to sign a disclaimer for injury (haha - like they are valid in a court of law) but the lady would not fall under the same waiver

i said to the lady when signing the disclaimer - "geez i hope you guys have insurance for this event"

she replied "yeah we have, this is just an added precaution"

very convincing - not

 

[From the dug out]

Hmmm....just felt sorry for her over the phone...hope the Mariners can help her with this.

She said she has 10% use of her nasal passage way.

 

[Wilson]

Yeah I happened to see it..She got hit very very hard..Took ages to get up..
Actually spoke to the guy that did it not much remorse at all!!!
