Edinburgh Scotspurs 7's 2010

[lethamsaintee]

I know you lads entered a team last year, and did quite well, and once again you will be invited to this years event.

Full details to follow but it will take place on Sunday 26th June at a venue in the capital.

[crieffsaintandy]

Should be able to get a squad together again, as long as we get the Methven cat there from the beginning:wink:

[SaintDougie]

Count me in, Good fun last year.

[Baldy Marc]

already in my diary mate.

[crieffsaintandy]

Anyone else up for this, to get numbers

[Nelly78]

I'm definitely up for it. I think Chopper said he was as well.

[geoff was right!!]

If you need an extra body then i'm in.

[ryangordon86]

i'm in

[crieffsaintandy]

Andy, Daniel, Marc, Thommo, Dougie, Nelly, Chopper, Ryan and Geoff so far.

[st Tommy]

probably me too- assuming my knee is finally fixed!!

[SaintDougie]

I'm pretty sure Barney's up for it again, as long as he scores a few more of wonder strikes from the half-way line.

[crieffsaintandy]

Final 10 at the moment then - Andy, Daniel, Marc, Dougie, Nelly, Chopper, Ryan, Geoff, Tommy and Barney.

Unless Ronaldo or somone of that level is visiting Edinburgh that day, that will be our offering:laugh:

the big question,:wink: will we get an appearance from Dougie, seems to have been a lot of no shows this year!!

Oi you, watch it!:) Aye of course i'll be there.

It's been a pretty tricky start to the year pennies wise hense not being to any games. Cannie wait for this Saturday though, still can't really afford it but feck it anyway!

[lethamsaintee]

All confirmed. Sunday 27th June at Meadowbank. 1pm start.

[SaintDougie]

As above, unless anyone changed their minds or anyone else fancy it, as Dougie says me and daniel are in, but we need the big name home players to draw in the crowds:laugh:

[geoff was right!!]

I'll be there but hope you dont need me to play! But if needs must then i'm in.

[st Tommy]

Afraid ill need to pull out as im away on holiday that weekend. Not entirely sure my knee would be up to it anyway. Good luck to those playing!

[ryangordon86]

Christ, I better take up jogging!

[chopper]

I'm also a doubt at the present moment as not sure if I'm in the country let alone the vicinity of Meadowbank that day!

[SaintDougie]

Barney is in. Also one of my mates from back home in Kinross is up for it as well.

The more the merrier mate.

We also need to confirm colours, aka all ware red like last year.

[lethamsaintee]

Its 1pm, fifty quid a team. If you could wear red again that would be great.

[chopper]

I'm unavailable for this tournament. Barney should still have my Trinidad shirt from last year so feel free to use that (though I do want it back this time!!!)

I I've still got that mate. I'll get it back to you eventually!!

[Nelly78]

Not that I'm suggesting foul play or anything from our resident Spurs supporter, but i'm sure that ourselves, Ormond Saints and Scotspurs are more than happy to be in the opposite half of the draw from Appin and Ambler! Good work son!

Oh aye, and I can play I think! Anyone get a red top though, as I don't possess one - only blue, navy blue and the old gold shirts in my collection!

Marc? could really do with you in the sticks mate.

Craig & Ryan, whats your thoughts?

Cheers.

[geoff was right!!]

If you're short on numbers then i'll play (not very well though and hope that the old knees hold up)

[Baldy Marc]

i'm in. Also got a big lad from work interested in playing too. Can easilly get more numbers if required.

[SaintDougie]

Brilliant cheers mate.

Nold is going to kindly let us borrow a few red tops which I will get off of him today.

So we have....

Andy
Andy's Bro Mark
Daniel
Nelly
Dougie
Barney
Hamish
Marc
Craig - Pending

Going on last year and a couple of new additions a pretty good squad.

£50 a team so that works out at a cost of £6.25 or £5.50 each.

[Baldy Marc]

Add Gary J to that list, big ginger hibby but will do the business at back for us.
10 a good number....

[SaintDougie]

Sounds good.

9 or 10 is bang on, helps with tired legs and makes it cheaper for all.

[Baldy Marc]

A mate, Kez is in too. That makes 10 so will cover rests and subs.

[Baldy Marc]

unless anyone has any objections that is?

[SaintDougie]

unless anyone has any objections that is?

Sound, sound. I think 10 is plenty now.

Cheers lads

Also, There are now two spare red tops thanks to Nold if anyone is having trouble finding something suitable.

First come first served.

[lethamsaintee]

Guys, Abler look like pulling out so a few wee changes. Round robin like last year with 6 games. You lads play PSJ AT at twenty past one in your first game. Can you be there about half 12 or so to get money in and that so we can pay the venue up etc.

[lethamsaintee]

Forgot to say, if Abler do pull out then it bumps the cost up per team to 55 quid sadly.

Sure we can handle that.

[Baldy Marc]

Lads - got a couple of spaces available for a game at the corn exchange tomorrow at 7pm - any of you guys interested in playing?

I could possibly be up for that. It all depends if I end up working late though.

I'll keep you posted.

Cool, just let me know - anyone else??

[geoff was right!!]

If I tried to play twice in a week I'd be dead!

[SaintDougie]

Both spare tops I had have now been claimed.

[SaintDougie]

As two teams have now pulled out there is a very good chance all games will be done for 3pm.

Therefore there is talk of heading to the Artisan Bar up the road to watch England play Germany if anyone fancies?

[THE LARK SAINT]

Young Gav has asked me to post up that the presentation of the trophy will be in Jocks lodge after the game, it is about 150 Yards from the football area.we will be in there in plenty time see most of the football and watch England getting pumped.Jocks Lodge will also be putting on food for the teams.

I've only got the one red top so can't help you there. Was wondering myself what time we're meeting.

[lethamsaintee]

[SaintDougie]

I've got a spare if you need mate?
