We may be doing throw-ins at the tournament court on the Friday night now, it depends how quickly the boards go up. They certainly won't be ready before 7, but you can come and hang out, or play at Highgate, which is a 5-10 minute ride away.
We played on the tournament courts this morning, with our new Reynolds 725 goals, checked all the wood would work etc. It's going to rule. Fingers crossed for good weather!
I reckon the courts will favour fast teams with good, fast passing skills. They're so wide that if you're used to controlling the game in the mid-court, you're going to struggle, because people will just ride or pass round you. All of the games we played were quite low scoring, which may just be because our shots are whack, or may be because you're aware of this massive gaping court behind you and you
don't want to give the ball away, so you don't shoot so readily.
