Stay tuned for the team announcement. Any day now. Honest.

Mens Results - Round 3
We're looking forward to building on this game and with the return of Phil and Col on Sunday, we should really give the unbeaten Sting-gays a run for their money.
Results from Round 3
A hard fought game in the Mixed Open, with us down 5-2 at half time, resulted in a 9-6 loss. The second half was much better, as evidenced by the fact that we outscored them 4-3. Things look good for the future, with a relatively inexperienced group of players in this team. Tony & Matt scored two each, and Paul & Simon both chipped in with singles.
In actuality, there is possibly more experience in the Mixed Junior team, who had a great win, 5-3. Nicole the wonder-coach, yet to lose a game! Great work guys! And with only 7 players before half time, and 8 after! Lara, dropping back from the Women's to make up the numbers, scored 3 great touchdowns, and Will and John scored one each.
The Womens & Mens both played in the last time slot, and since I didn't see any of the Men's, I'll only briefly mention that they lost. 7-2. Matt M-S & Simon L were the scorers.
The Women's team was unsuccessful, too, but looked great in the first half. Keeping the Wolves within their half for about 3/4 of the half, we really only made one major defensive error, which they promptly capitalised upon, and scored. I had the feeling at half time that we were going to roll them, but unfortunately they scored a couple of touchdowns early in the second half. Eventually, we broke the drought and Ellen scored, but it was too late for a comeback, and the final score was 3-1. Let's face it, the Lewickis make that team!
Another game coming up on Sunday, with the Mixed & Juniors playing at 1:00pm, and the Womens at 2:00pm. Hang around if you can, to watch the Mens play at 3:00pm. Let's beat those Sting-gays.

CSTA - Uniforms needed this Friday 615
Dear players,
As you are aware, an extra division has been added to the state league competition (mixed juniors). This means that we now have to provide playing shirts for 4 teams. We currently do not own enough shirts, and until we buy some more, we will be collecting shirts after each game so that they can be used in the other divisions.
We need approximately 12 male and 12 female shirts for games starting at 630pm this Friday. If you still have a shirt in your possession, can you please hand it to someone who will be there at 615pm (or earlier). Let me know if this is not possible.
Due to this circumstance, we are looking for 2 volunteers who can collect male or female shirts after the last game that they are needed (usually mens or womens), take them home, have them washed, and bring them back at least 15 minutes prior to the next game (usually mixed juniors or mixed opens). For this service, CSTA will subsidise your playing fees.
This does not mean that players can swap numbers, please keep the number that you have already been wearing to asssit with admin and signing on each game
I look forward to hearing from you.

State League "Round 2" Results
The mixed opens team represented the club in the first game, but unfortunately went down 0-6 to a more experienced South West Wolves team. This was a good chance for the mixed juniors to have a run who had a bye this week, which was lucky due to dwindling numbers in the mixed opens side.
The women’s team, without star coach Matt Schinckel, fought hard in the first half but was down 0-2 and Mel Day (injury) at half time. The half time address by the “coach of the Day” inspired Nicole Treleaven to score 3 TDs in the second half. Unfortunately, this was not enough as they went down 3-4 to the Vipers.
The new look men’s open team played the young Wolves team led by Jezza and Gav. The Scorps got off to a good first half, holding the Wolves scoreless and led 2-0 at half time. This heated game was 2-2 shortly after half time before Colm Maguire led the way to victory. The final score was 6-4.

State League Round 2 Friday 13th August POSTPONED
State League Round 2 has been postponed to Sunday 22nd August 2004 as per previous communication of 1pm, 2pm & 3pm. This is due to City Touch only finishing it’s final round at 11.30am.
The Reason:
We have advice as at 12 noon from the Weather Channel that is forecasting hazardous conditions. The advice states that a front is expected to come through Adelaide at 5pm. It is a Severe Wind Advice bringing thunderstorms and possible hail. This is obviously a dangerous situation; therefore we are making a decision to postpone games early enough as to allow communication to go through to all participating people.
For information about the forecast please go to website to have a look at why we have made our decision.
http://www.weatherchannel.com.au/Magic94scripts/mgrqispi94.dll?appname=WC&prgname=WC&Function=&Function=PCSearch&SearchFor=EASTWOOD%20SA%205063
Games for the re-schedule Round 1 on Sunday 15th August will go ahead as communicated using field 6 & 7.
Please pass this information onto any related members!

City Touch Round 8
A big pre-game warm-up by some of the girls resulted in them being very fired up for the start of the game, and we ran rough-shod right over the opposition. To their credit, Fruittis only had one reserve, and they put up a great fight, but when Amy scores halfway through 'Bananas' (she didn't really need to dive, though) we know we are streets ahead of them. Scoring opportunities came thick & fast, with some good middle setups creating a big overlap on the wing.
However, we need to remember that the teams we will be playing in State League, and when we go away with our various State Teams will be much better than the Park Touch we have been playing. I hope to see a bit of depth when we are in attack, and to keep the effort going when defending. Especially making sure the Long-Side players push across to Shut Down when the ball is switched back in.
Speaking of State League, we are playing on Friday, and most of this team will be playing Womens, starting at 7:30. If we can be there nice and early, we'll have a decent warm-up, and hopefully be ready to go at the start.
I won't be there on Sunday (I'm going to Sydney), so I'd like to spend a bit of time straight after the game talking to the team. I'll run the same team for both games, which I'll try and announce this afternoon.
[EDIT]Lucy Alver - there, her name is on here again!
