Start of season news
We had our start of season meal at the Bay of Bengal on Friday, and a good time was had by all. We had planned to choose the names for the Dragons teams entering the Welsh League democratically at the meal, but Sian had to step in to prevent both teams being named after cheap jibes at Joey’s sexuality. We did get a shortlist together though, which the committee will impose dictatorially on everyone else. Democracy just doesn’t work, people.
We also now have some matches coming up, so people should start making space in their diaries.
First on the 18th October is the Cardiff University Freshers Tournament. We’re entering a team in this all day tournament, and we’ll be looking for as many beginners to play as possible. Second teamers are next in priority, but if a few first teamers want to come along and help out that’d be great too. There’s a social afterwards for anyone who wants to get drunk with lots of 18 year olds in fancy dress (theme: the letter K).
The Welsh league starts on the 25th October and both the as yet unnamed Dragons teams will be in action away at Cardiff City teams. The exact times are yet to be determined, but the preliminary hall booking at Howells School is between 10 and 1.45. All members of the club who want to play will get at least some game time, so please make sure you’re free.
Finally, the first team have been drawn away at North Downs in the first round of the EKA Cup on Sunday the 2nd November, with Bec 3 as the other opposition. The Cup is always tough, but that draw gives us 2 competitive games, assuming we can get something close to our best team out.
