Quickly now. Devils have finished top in the Santa Fe Premiership gaining them a ticket to the final. In the meantime they get a warm up game against the teams not making the post-season. This is a combined side from various clubs. A good opportunity for a last blat on the pitch. The Pleasure have been offered three places in this side to be captained by Greg Dean. Please advise if you’re keen.

Oh Once again – not sure exactly when and where this is which is difficult i know (last schedule i have says it was last weekend). Anyway – i assume it’s this Sunday – possibly in the morning – but we’ll get back to you.

Newsflash: It’s a civilised 1:45pm start at SRFC.

There won’t be a Bashers Bus (unless you go out early to watch the Business in their Semi)

Suggest you catch the train

Caarn the Bashers

Bashers,
We should be very close to finalizing the points in League 1 – and it looks like we are top 3, possibly top 2, and maybe top…
All very exciting.
The end result is that The Business Boys will be playing this Sunday.
It is now imperative that we put our strongest possible XI onto the field for the next two weekends.

The game is on Sunday – venue, time and opposition details will follow in the next 24-48 hours…

Please confirm availability below.
I will update you all with any more details as and when I get them.

Gents,
Am sitting in the office feeling like a broken man – what an epic weekend…

Sunday sees the Business Team take on the might of Pudong . The game is scheduled for 12:00 at the SRFC.

Unofficially (not all results have been entered into SportsVault yet) , victory here could see us finish the season in top spot – which would take us straight through to the final, and would secure us the title of  ‘most successful Basher Team ever’….

Who is available for selection?

Cheers,
Stats

Guys,
We have had unprecedented response for the 6s, which is awesome. Not only do we have 15+ lads wanting to play, we also will have more guys at the dinner than Pudong / K2 combined. Its been tough trying to juggle the desire to win the 6s for the first time / participating in Bashers style / rewarding those who volunteered to umpire & score / taking Friday off work etc etc. We also have Danny Morrison requesting to play with us, which should make the whole weekend even more of a blast (listen to Podcast number 3 for a taster of things to come).

(more…)

After last weeks debacle… we are slightly more organized this week…

Our highly esteemed Social Director, and general Man of Looseness, Mr. Dean Lapthorne, will be heading to the court today to book.

With the Pleasure Boys looking for 3 from 3, and the 6s looming – it will be a good opportunity to get ‘amongst it’.
drinks will happen at the Bamboo regardless

There will be a post to confirm his success later on today.
