I'd love to do a proper writeup at some point... I have statistics from the first four games I reffed which I will post later on.
biased post I just wanted to say what an awesome captain Paul was and how gracious the whole team were. I was subbed in last minute to replace a much stronger player and although they were three players down at one point, the team just got on without complaint. They rotated really well on court and were super encouraging to each other. Anthony was definitely my MVP, scoring, defending and saving some rad goals, his bike was broken twice and he got taken out so many times illegally. 0 moans! So yeah, I'm glad we won. biased post
The reffing situation really needs to be improved, reffing three games in a row was nakkering and having players argue with you when they didn't understand the rules themselves was pretty jokes. Especially as a goal ref, having the team stood next to you scream at you is pretty intimidating. I know not all the reffing was of a high standard but myself and others did their best and even when some of us played, we goal reffed the games inbetween. It was sad to see non-playing people not helping to ref or goal ref. Big up to the Beagle who was a legend all week!! Yes, I agree, goal refs should be able to advise the ref also.
Loved the beers and frolics in the park <3 Thanks Eddy for driving me there and back too.
On a side note, if John's not around next year I would love to organise this tourney...
