yup im pretty sure phil will have trouble defending me all season :-)

yeah. it also depends when your team practices. brunel dont have regular
weekend practice. we practice tuesday night and wed and friday in the day.
with wednesday night for indoors.

If the call is still positive in the next few days I will ask each uni to
think about who they are going to send to the first one. and who can commit
to the first winter league. So that i know whether to enter one or two
teams
