what? say abingdons top 6 or so against oxfords? someone should set a date and assign the two captains!

I vote Malc and Kev

Luckylewis · Even if you beat me I’m STILL THE BEST ;-)

How do we sort out any players that could easily be in both teams ?, let them choose ?, or exclude them completely ?.

Barney · Ultimate Poster (Breaks off in decider)

Base it on where people live, as so many play both in Oxford and Abingdon.

Or let those who play leagues in Oxford and Abingdon make the choice (normally you'd expect them to choose where they live...).

In fact you could organise an Oxfordshire Town's comp, Oxford, Abingdon, Bicester, Witney, Wantage.....

Wake up mate this has been running for years its called Interleague ! Just the Oxford league don't bother playing in it becuase its an EPA run event.

The Abingdon league puts a team in each year orgainised by Hazel & Witney by Chris Jones.

FTR Abingdon are scheduled for the finals in Yarmouth early in 2007.

Beefy · Ultimate Poster (Breaks off in decider)

I think the two captains should be Jimmy and Malc they seem to want to get this match played the most.

Qualification Criteria

Played in at least 50% of Sunday league fixtures for the 2006/7 Season fixtures.

Captains pick players based on eligability, most wins and availability.

My suggestion would be 2 legs of 7 players each best of 3.

Good luck trying to fix a date that does not clash with another league, county or other commitments people have.

Go back to sleep Beefy.

I have no idea what Interleague is, I don't think it's a case of me waking up, although having had a 5am start this morning I am starting feel less than sharp!

I'm not suggesting we create a new league between one team each from the before-mentioned towns, just adding a thought to the Abingdon-Oxford debate.

Seriously though, Oxford should have enough players to field at least 2 interleague teams. But then they'd probably win it and stop the lesser teams from qualifying. Can't have that.

houlierout · Occasional Poster (Racking up the balls)

Strong side that. Though I believe we'll be picking players who live in Oxford for the Oxford team - so that counts out Jimmy and Tom Weeks I believe?

So is it finaly going to happen the Abingdon Sunday League v Oxford Sunday League ?

Or will it become Oxford players (any league) v Abingdon Players ?

Barney · Ultimate Poster (Breaks off in decider)

Why should it be only Sunday league players?

If you want it to be Sunday players only I suggest you find someone who captains an Oxford Sunday League team and agree on a match format and pick players from your respective leagues.

Regarding players who play in both, you either agree that such players can't play in the Abingdon v Oxford match, or you ask them which team they want to play for (assuming both teams would like them to play).

In other words less chat and more action, get on with it.

I believe Paul came to the conclusion that to be eligable to play for either team you have to live there not play in the leagues? is this correct Mr Chambers?

LADY_1980 · Regular Poster (Wins the toss)

Oh dear this subject keeps coming up.

Perhaps me and Kevin should organise it as the secretaries for the relevant leagues and the secretaries get to pick their captain and their team?????

BRING IT ON ABINGDON!!!!!

Oh dear looks like Ming doesn't want to take the challenge, well with half of the Abingdon League players signing on for the Osney now who could blame him, looks like we could field a strong team at the end of the day.

Want to set a date then Ming????

That's what I'm led to believe to, Jimmy. If the Secretaries of the Sunday leagues want to run another tournament, then fair enough.

Two tournaments its taken 2 years to try and arrange one.

So my “named” 7 CAN’T be beaten then

I've got no problem setting up a challenge match.

If i remember rightly, this match was supposed to be between the winners of both Sunday leagues i.e. Osney V Tandem as they won them last season. Obviously next season will be Crown House Club V Oracle.

As for qualification for participation in said match(es) it should be at least 50% of matches for the relevant season. This should stop teams packing their side with ringers just so they could play in it.

For a match between the leagues the same criterior should apply therefore making it irrelevant that Malc might have some Abingdon based players playing for him from time to time.

Also to make it a totally "league representative" based challenge we could have a maximum of 2 players from any one team (that's my lot up in arms already lol), maybe Home and Away - 10 X best of 3 matches, aggregrate score to decide winners, which would give lesser players the opportunity to participate in this match. What about a ladies match as well?

Unfortunately, as i'm off to Australia for a month, it'll have to be after xmas, though we can get together before then to sort out the details.
