Mens A is very do-able. West Yorkshire are a good side ... but i reckon we've got a good chance in that group. There are no easy teams at nationals but I'm certainly pleased with that draw. I realise i may live to regret these comments but still!! smile: Mens B is a shocker! Thats a horrible draw ... Derbyshire and Warwickshire B!! If I'd been betting before the draw i would of put the final between these two... especially since neither A side is present!!
Have to agree with John that the 'A' have a favourable draw, whereaes the 'B' will be facing a hard battle. Still, just because they were good last year, doesn't mean they will be good this year.
The Youths, and Kieran especially, will be looking forward to the Hampshire match!
Cheers for the info Lee - I must admit that I never thought to check as BAPTO stuff is so rarely up-to-date on the web!

Well done, Beefy. Though judging from Malc's post above he'll be in bondage gear next season, so it's anyones guess where he'll stick the sponsorship logo!

Well the decision has already been made he gave me his shirt with the rest unfortunately but I am sure if he really wants it somewhere else it can be arranged with a hot iron and leather !

Got the draw off of uk8ball.com. Don't know how they got it but a lot of people on there seemed to be aware of it. The way I see it............. doesn't matter who you draw, all you need to do is win! It doesn't matter how good the players are if you don't let them to the table!! I for one am looking forward to it. Let's hope we play well.
Which part of the site as have used the search engine with various different words and no joy ?

No, it was the other way round. We HAMMERED the 'B' side in the group stages, so perhaps the draw might not be so bad? Depends on who's playing this year for them of course!
Found the Selsey and Hampshire Youth are really backing themselves to win - I hope our side kicks their arses......

Yeah Berkshire youths have a good chance certainly if danny davy is playing for them. But we've got Scott Andrews!!!!!
Who is scott Andrews this Spanners guy is really on one on this thread.
I hope the youths play Hamps when neither the A or B's have a game and then they will see some noisy support with LBJ leading from the front, especially if Ming is pissed by this stage oh sorry thats a given at the finals.
