Division 1 does something a bit like starting tonight

A message from John, the Div 1 LOG:

Division 1 starts tonight, sort of. We're moving to a new format for team formation, where captains will pick the teams they want to play with. There will also be two draft teams to accomodate those people who haven't been selected (pending adequate rego numbers). To ensure players get a chance to strut their stuff in front of our courageous captains, we're running a very informal try-outs night tonight at O'Connor Playing fields at 7:00. Players will be divided into random teams and will play scrimmage games to give everyone a chance to show off their skills, athleticism, fine taste in sweatbands or whatever else it is that gets people selected for teams these days.

Having done the rounds of local leagues looking for players to pull into the Kaboom ranks I know that there are a bunch of really talented rookies with great potential out there who should be getting snapped up into div 1 teams. Tonight should provide a chance for that to happen.

If you're at all interested in playing in Division 1 this spring come along to the O'Connor playing fields (nearest the shops) at 7:00. Bring your A game, your cleats, water, a white shirt and a dark shirt. If you're looking for regular competitive ulty games this season turn up and show us what you've got. We can't guarantee that you'll be what our captains are looking for, but the only way to find out is to turn up and give it a try. If you can't make it tonight sign up on the rego page to let us know you're keen (http://www.afda.com/rego/showdivision.php?divisionid=902).

Once our captains have cruised the talent so to speak, regular games will start next week. Div 1 could really improve over the next few seasons, so let's make a strong start.
