Guys,
Please see below for details on the Scottish trials for the inaugrual Home Nations Tournament.
If you are interested in attending please let me know asap so that we can organise transport.
Also, you need to email Chieftans Coach Mark Fletcher at fletch49er@blueyonder.co.uk with your contact details by the 29th March (This Sunday) so that he can keep you informed of details for the trials.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Open selection trials will be held @ Inchyra Park, Grangemouth on Sunday 5th April.
Home nations will be held on Sunday 24th May @ St. Margarets Pastures Sports Centre St. Martgarets Way, Leicester LE1 3EA (see attached flyer)
The BAFA Board has decided that we should not use the titles of England, Scotland and Wales for this competition. 'Crusaders', 'Chieftains' and 'Dragons' will apply instead, meaning that eligibility and selection will be along regional rather than national lines. A full statement about eligibility will be made shortly.
As players in Northern Ireland and the Republic operate under the umbrella of a single governing body, a unified team ('Team Ireland') will still be recognised by BAFA. BAFA's concept of the regional team 'Giants' would only apply to those Northern Irish players who established themselves as a separate programme.
Dayle has secured some minor sponsors for the event:
*Kukri will supply a trophy for the event
*Leicester Central Premier Inn has agreed a 15% room discount and 1 free breakfast per twin room. Please confirm rooms required with me by 9.00am on Friday 17 April.
*He is also contacting Tesco about free sports drinks for the event"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would love to see as many people attending as possible as it will be both a great opporuntiy and great experience for all!
Thanks,
Mike
