Maybe there are fewer Brice "children" going to university, or is that the case? There used to be regular influxes of Uni players into the tournament scene, and the uni clubs were the most vibrant - I'm thinking Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, Keele, I myself started playing in UCD in Dublin many moons ...

Oh to be in London..

Great post Rob. Although you didn't mention it, I thought you were very unlucky when the ball crept past your goalie to give them 4:3 in what was the final game. You and Joe had good momentum prior to that and it could have gone either way.. but super result in the end!

How do/did past and future BFA's handle this...

That's Bruce when he was thin

Thinking of you Joe... you told me of your family and friends some years ago at the Floatel, your Dad sounded like a cool guy...

You will also find that if you ask them, the majority of the seasoned players will be glad to show you how to improve your game.

Some interesting doubles teams in there, good luck guys!

Great team, good luck guys
