Grand Final Game Time Change!
The time for our (CSTA Womens) Grand Final has changed, it will now be at 6:10pm instead of 7:10.
Please be there nice and early.
City Scorpions in Grand Final.
After an exciting week away, most of the players from CS Womens returned from the National 18s Championships in Coffs Harbour.
And we played badly. Especially in the first half. More drop balls than in the whole season combined. Only a couple of touchdowns!
Still, we got over the line, and next week we play in the Grand Final. I have promised to shave my sideburns off if we win by 10 or more touchdowns, and shave my whole head if we score 25 touchdowns.
Oh, and our game is at 7:15 next week.

City Scorps Summer Season
City Touch Summer nominations are now open.
TouchSA have decided that the eligibility rules for State League in the future will be altered, so that players need only play within their region for one season per calendar year to be eligible to represent said region in State League.
However, I think for the development of our region, we should be encouraging our players to play both seasons. This will enable us to keep a bigger pool of players, and build on some of the new friendships that have formed this season.
To this end, we have decided to try and foster a City Scorpions Touch Club - although if someone has a suggestion for a better name, I'd be happy to reconsider it.
What I need from you guys is an indication as to who is prepared to play in one or more of the teams that we will enter. We envisage entering teams on each night, and in each division (Men's, Women's Mixed). There may also be the possibility of having junior teams, and multiple teams on each night.
This is not just for elite players - if you have family members or friends who are interested in starting out, then point them our way, and we'll find a team for them to play in.
If you are currently in a team, and over the past few seasons have struggled to get enough players, then by becoming a part of our 'club', we can help supply you with players of either gender. You do not need to 'lose' your teams identity, and by becoming part of the CSTA family you will be entitled to club team rates at City Touch.
We are also looking for people to be team organisers - this will involve you becoming the team contact through city touch, and collecting payments, letting the CSTA committee know how you are going in regards to player numbers and individual player strengths, etc.
Ideally, eventually we would like to have a serious club structure in place, so that we can promote players to the level of competition that they are able to achieve the highest level of success and enjoyment from, and provide other services, such as coaching, financial support for development courses (referee/coach/selector) and uniforms.
Email csta@optusnet.com.au with days you wish to play...or ring Matt S on 0422 11 86 11 after 3:15pm.

City Scorpions News/Results.
Another win, against an in-form McLeod's Daughters. I think there are a few players in that team to watch out for over the next couple of years.
Building up to the 18s (which all but one player who played tonight will be at next week...) we 'took it easy', and used it as a chance to practice a couple of patterns.
Final score: lots to none.
This week's Women's Open game (State League) is at 8:30, but I want everyone there and ready to go for a session at 7:30. We should have heaps of players, and a session as a team will do us oodles of good.
