Let's be avin yer watney mann captains only 3 teams registered so far!

[gandalf the untidy]

Am trying to get the hospital to put a team in, can't really see why other league teams don't enter this comp.there must be 30 teams looking for something to do in the summer

[gandalf the untidy]

Hospital Club are in !!!

[bigtj]

Coming towards the end of March so about three weeks left to enter this competition and maybe go on and represent Sussex in the team championships later in the year. Would be great to see all leagues represented in this, and I am sure there are teams out there who would like the chance of playing at different venues to there normal league fair.

Hopefully we will be able to find a good reserve if we need one.

It's great to see 2 teams entering from Lewes League this year and the players involved with these teams mean there will be the usual excellent support for the Sussex Competitions from the players in Eastbourne and Hastings.

There are still several teams that have recently taken part in the Watney Mann Cup that have yet to enter....

White Hart Littlehampton (Worthing League), the current Sussex and AEBBA Team Champions - now entered.
Charles Dickens (now Swan Nomads, Worthing League) who were Watney Mann Runners-Up last year
Smugglers (Worthing) have entered most years recently
Albion Brighton (now Hikers Rest, Brighton) have also entered most years recently
Hurst Club (now United Services, Mid-Sussex) took part in 2012 & 2013
Tarring Club (Worthing) took part in 2013
Brewers Arms (Mid-Sussex) took part in 2012

It would also be brilliant to see some new teams enter from some of the other Leagues that have not supported this event in recent years....

Horsham League (I have seen some discussion about possibly Roffey Club Y or Stout House BB taking part on the Horsham thread...?)
Billingshurst League
Littlehampton League (The Locomotive were the last team to enter in 2008)
West Sussex League

Let's hope we see some more entries for this competition.

Horsham League (I have seen some discussion about possibly Roffey Club Y or Stout House BB taking part on the Horsham thread...?)

May not be anywhere near as strong as either Roffey Y or Stout House BB teams (unfortunately for various reasons, including players playing in other teams for the Watney Mann can't see either of these sides entering), but have entered the Roffey H team into this years tournament to have a representation from the Horsham League.

Thanks Stuart always good to have new blood, would be good to see Mid Sussex, Billingshurst, West Sussex, Lewes represented

As Tony may not be aware of our local nicknames Adam, maybe you should quote full names because they may have been quoted already in other teams
just saying

[bigtj]

PM from Adam, and have adjusted the teams to reflect that, as obviously Adam cannot guest for another team, and he states Rick is definitely playing for the Stout House and not the White Hart.

Swan Nomads will be entering -

Neil Higgins
Paul Barnett
Nick Brown
Gary Ridley
Tony Burgess
Graham Lewis

Looks like 10 teams this year, will be doing the draw on Monday night at the Dolphin, Littlehampton. Please adhere to the play by dates, extensions to the dates will only be allowed in extreme circumstances and must be sanctioned by me.

[bigtj]

Looking at two preliminaries which will take us into the Quarter -finals and aware some leagues play to end on May. So looking at preliminaries and Quarter finals by July the 5th, Semi Finals by August 16th, and Final by 20th September. Would suggest those involved in preliminaries aim at June the 7th, will look at this and may set that date to save any confusion. Will post draw on Tuesday.

[davejones]

We will enter from Smugglers a
Team will be our Worthing side plus guest to be decided
