[CAJFLY]

[ITZTRU]

I've got a nice indoor ball...but i don't think it's pumped?? i dont have one, can someone at least bring a pump? I desperately need to have a bit of a warm up/shoot around first...it's been a while since i've played a proper game...

sounds like its you and me up top of the key, AP

[CAJFLY]

ok i just brought a cheap ball pump from like a $2 shop lol i will bring it to the servo justin

[LEANBAC]

mah man! the two guards!

im not too rusty, but i might be waaayyyyy sore after the gym

this game might be the funniest game to go down in the history of basketball

me .... back in the day in africa, BOOM SHUCK-A-LUCKA!!!!! ( nba jam fans )

[CAJFLY]

lmao i havent played in years so i think it will be very interesting, i just found a ball i had in the roof of the garage, pumped it up seems alright, see if it goes flat on me lol so if just takes his too then we will have 2

[shanusr33]

guys, i've been flat out at work and away from the forums for a bit. here's the run down.

Wear Black Shorts

Tops will be provided, we can work out details later If you have a black or red official basketball uniform bring it just in case we're short

Bring $15.00 to cover registration, insurance for the rest of the season and the game just for the night. Each week the game is $30.00 (divided by how many players are there)

It'll also cost ya $2.50 to get into the stadium per person (spectators as well)

Tip off is 8pm, so be there before hand to get organised

Here's the team list:

Justin C (ITZTRU)

Nick E (NICKR33)

Jarrod M (R32Big boy)

Allen R (LEANBAC)

Adrian R (CAJFLY)

Brett O (New Guy)

Shane P (shanusr33)

Other Players:

Nick R33 may bring a friend??

DogKnight??

Paradizzle??

If other players get involved it means i don't have to play twice on the same night which is good for me so i'll retire after 1 game, and somebody will need to put their hand up to be 'manager.'

Without me there's 6 regulars, so 1 more spot to fill. 7 is the perfect number, any players after 7 will be 'emergency players' unfortunately or roster them in and out etc? we'll work something out. there's always people away, sick or injured anyways

I will TXT you all now, so that you have my mobile number. Any problems getting there tonight make sure you call or txt. Otherwise i'll see you at 7.45pm on court 3. i'll be the bald guy sitting on the bench between court 2 and 3 with the red sports bag.

Cheers,

shanus

[LEANBAC]

I've gotta try and remember all that before the game haha...

put me down for defensive star hahaha...i won't be going for a lot of shots tonight, especially coz its been a while since i've played. So i'll be rather embarrassed.

Shit...i'm actually nervous now hahaha

[CAJFLY]

im nervous too

[shanusr33]

nice game fellas, hope you had fun!?

if you're quick, the game log is on the bottom of the waverleybasketball.com website

otherwise, pm me i can get it on .pdf file if your that keen...it's pretty cool being digital, you can track your games, stats, foul and score averages, high score margins, scope out the opposition etc etc

thanks for prompt payment, that covers you for the rest of the season for registration and insurance. Now the only cost you'll have is the weekly door entry and the score sheet is $30 for the game for the whole team.. So divide that by $5.00 each player and you'll start building a kitty 5 bucks a week - towards tops or end of season cruise, beer or something...

speaking of tops, lets leave that subject alone until next year, it's xmas everybody's gotta do shopping. keep them, bring them each week, i'll see what else i can order and find but if we want to order more individually for the reversable type pm me

after our other 6'2 player jumps on board, i'll jump off and nickr33 will become the new manager/rep for you guys. ring me in as an emergency if you like that was awesome fun, but yeah, we'll keep you posted with details.

next weeks game is an early one, 6.30pm. if you can't make it, make sure to let me know!

cheers, thanks, ciao

[ITZTRU]
