One touchers,
This coming sunday is Cup Day, the 3rd most important date in the Wanderers calender after the SCW Feast Day Cup and Lanky's Trouser Sock Ladies Day.
With Sandinista away working the numbers for Rudd in Canberra, it falls to me to arrange something. This email contains some important (and some unimportant) details about the event and your participation, and probably also omits some important information. Please read and make notes.
WHAT: SCW picnic day and 6-a-side challenge cup. All Wanderers, families, soccer wives, friends, foes welcome. BYO food and drink.
WHEN: This coming sunday. First game kicks off at 3pm, so please be there by 2.30 to help get it sorted out. We'll be there until about dusk.
VENUE: Tentative - At this stage it's Centennial Park, unless a better venue can be found this week. Will confirm exact location towards the end of the week. If anyone knows of a ground that has small posts still up, let me know ASAP.
COST: May be around $8 each player if we need to buy some small goals, otherwise nil.
TEAMS and UNIFORMS: See below. Shinpads and boots recommended if you have them. Garth - can you let me know the names and colours of your two teams?
THINGS TO BRING: Food, drink (beer - both bundaberg and the other kind), esky if you have one, umbrella/shade device, personal masseuse, personal jesus.
HOW IT WILL WORK:
1. Four teams will play in a round robin event. The top 2 will then play a final, while 3v4 will play a "left footed" penalty shoot out for the bronze medal.
2. Games will be approx 30 mins long. First game at 3pm, and the final should commence around 7pm. Team captains are asked to get their guys ready to play on time, so we get through games in enough time. There'll be a match schedule on the day.
3. Refereeing: Both non-playing teams are to provide a referee for half of each game. Despite the lucrative prizes on offer and the obvious glory that goes with winning such a prestigious event, there should be no dangerous tackling (other than hacking Davorinho) and no arguing with the ref over anything. Keep it cool and remember Hot Chocolate's good advice - everyone's a winner, baby.
4. We are likely to be playing with small goals, which means: (a) no goalies (b) no goal tending. Any serial offenders who stand in front of goals all game will be subject to some form of penance as defined by the Club Cardinal, particularly if there's a hint of french about them. Goals can only be scored from within the attacking half.
5. Unlimited interchange.
6. The use of either performance enhancing or performance detracting drugs is at your own discretion, depending on whether your body is a temple or a brothel.
7. Children will not be allowed onto the field during games. It doesn't matter if you're the Patron Saint of South Coogee, your child shall at no times be placed in front of the goals. Club Knee Jerker Bam Bam will be licensed to take any stray kids and lock them in his hot car for the afternoon.
Any questions or anything I've forgotten?
