You have to like a game where team mates can find the time in the middle of play to high-5 one another. But where is the ball, three players are looking in the same place and the fourth seems more interested in the oposition’s breasts. Or perhaps the glad handing is just a diversionary tactic and the Wing Defence has the ball. Maybe some one turned on their car radio too loud and Staying Alive was playing. But the most likely answer is that Wing Attack has just stated that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides, Wing Defence disagreed and so our too players have made a triangle to prove the point and therefore win the game… or have I got the rules of Netball completely wrong and they have absolutely nothing to do with trigonometry?

Tournament Fundraiser – End Of Season Party

Posted by on Mar 26, 2012 in 2012 Tournament, Club News, Diary, Events News | 0 comments

***CANCELLED

Kings Square Art Space, Sat 21st April, 8:00-whenever

A few bands, and a few tunes to mark the end of the Downs League season, and my birthday.

If we beat Sneyd and get promoted, I’ll be drunker than Paul Merson on payday.

MESSI – Cowboy-sympatico Bristol hip-hop and hardcore. But not at the same time.

THE BREAK OUT – Bristol Rock – from Wigs to Weasels.

PIGGY – on the decks.

+ some more to be confirmed

It’s also a fundraiser towards the Cowboys/Cowgirls tournament in August, so although it’s free to get in, if people could donate a couple of quid on the door to the club that’d be great.

Hopefully see you all there.

Report

EXCITING WEEK 9 * COWBOYS GUN DOWN OLD ENGLAND * CLERKS TAKE 4 IN 4 TO GAIN 2ND WIN

Had anyone asked title chasing Old England skipper Eric Stephenson, in advanced of last night match, which BICL team he would least wish to face, its likely he would have put their great rivals Easton Cowboys top of the list. Stephenson’s caution would have proved well founded too as his table topping outfit were derailed against Rob Tinkler’s party spoilers meaning the champagne must remain ‘on ice’.
In the match, towering opener R.Taylor opened the bowling for the Cowboys with a rarely seen maiden which set the tone for a nervy batting performance by Old England who stumbled to 84 by the end of the 12th over with only Iffy (22) making his mark. R.Garners impressive 4 for 14 being the stand out figures for Easton. In reply Cowboys just reached the finishing line with 2 wickets remaining with opener Dave Pool’s unbeaten 26 proving the main stay of the Cowboys winning reply.
All three fixtures ended in tense 2 wicket finishes, none more so than City Clerks unexpected but well deserved win over second placed Frampton Cotterell who desperately needed a victory to stand a realistic chance of winning the title. Clerks restricted ‘The Fram’ to 104 thanks mainly to a remarkable last over by Manesh who took a hatrick (preceeded by a run out) to desimate Framptons batting line up in just four balls. Clerk chased down the total needed with a BICL (Tuesday) record innings of 41 not out by Steve Davis. It was Clerks second win of the season and possibly the shock of the season so far!
The highly unlikely benefactors from Week 9 were Bristol YMCA who’s outside chance of being champions were greatly increased thanks to Frampton and Old England’s slip ups. Despite a superb 38 by Simon Byas of Twyford House which saw his side reach a decent 117 for 6, Chris Priest’s YMCA edged home with one ball to spare. Tom Milsom’s typically brutal 29* and some wayward from Twyford attack being the primasry factors in YM’s victory. Its all to play for in the final week……

Berrow Site Report

Posted by on Mar 20, 2012 in 2012 Tournament | 0 comments

Scott reports thus:

  • Just some news on the site for everyone.
  • On Wednesday last week a group of us went on a site visit and this is what we found:
  • There is enough room for
  • two full size 11 a side pitches
  • 2/3 seven a side pitches
  • A full size cricket pitch
  • The netball court
  • There is room for cack (enough room for a little football pitch and a play area) the cack space is close to the village hall so if we suffer with weather the kids are not to far away from a dry space.
  • The camping field is huge and we were told that it was 9 acres in total.(plenty of room)
  • The changing rooms are brand new and the village hall is also brand new with a massive space near the bar.

Problems are the walk from the pitches to the camping field it is short walk along the road that has some drainage ditches (a bog snorkelling competition has been suggested) along it. I think the road needs to be well lit with please go slow signs(hand painted) and some sort of fencing along the ditch to stop people falling in.

There is a small caravan park near the camping site that may have some caravans for hire.
So the inviting of the teams and the proposed structure of each tournament can now start.

Netball report thus:

The Suburbans beat Bristol Athletic 4-0

Downs A beat Hare On The Hill 2-1

So it is true. The Sunday Team have folded after their exit from the GFA Cup and their remaining fixtures have been awarded to the opposition. But will the phoenix rise from the ashes? There is a rumour that, even as I write this, Eddy if dusting off his cape and pulling his underpants over his tights. If ever the Sundays needed a second coming from the ‘Special One’ it is now.
