Blackout to Blackout for Season

Submitted 18th March, 2002 by Brian Costelloe

It has been decided by Rob, Dave, Paul and myself (the committee!) that we would be best to sit out a season and give the game a rest as we gather our senses and determine what direction we want the team to take from this point on. A move seemingly welcomed by most but it is yet to be seen how the new players, Matt and Geoff, take to the news. It is unfortunate that this should have to come to this but due to shortage of players and the drop in enthusiasm from everyone in general we saw the need to simply have a long break.

As for the shed, I will not be lying about doing nothing. Any news breaks will be posted here as per usual. So when the Blackout are geared up to go at the nets again you'll be all up to date right here in the Shed. A committee meeting shall be held in place of the match tomorrow to help build the foundation of a new plan for the oncoming challenges ahead!

Blackout Invited to Inter Centre Challenge

Submitted 13th March, 2002 by Brian Costelloe

Challenges are a weekly thing for most teams but this one is a challenge that is to be accepted as an honour and a half! Sports World (the kind and generous chaps that make sure the lights all are in working condition and that the umpires are not on the take!) have put down the gauntlet to all Grand Finalists from both the Peakhurst & Liverpool centres to determine once and for all which is the best sports centre? It's enough to get Big Kev excited and quite frankly I'm all abuzz for this one! I'm even going to buy new sneakers for the occasion!

Winners will be crowned the Champions of Sports World. They will also receive prizes along with being able to gloat about being the best with drinks and a BBQ after the match! So our quest is to muster up the 8 champions who got us here to this great game and have them free the 23rd March, 2002 to take part in what will be a much talked about match!

Two New Players For Autumn 2002 Season

Submitted 9th March, 2002 by Brian Costelloe

Great news to head into the new season with. After a great win in the Grand Final we lost Blackout wicket keeper, Big Pete and were still without an eight permanent player. But now we have two new players to make up what will hopefully be our permanent line up. Matthew (who lives in the same unit as me) will be playing at the teams first game this Tuesday. Also the centre has come up with a player for the side whose name is still a mystery. Interesting times ahead for the side and great to see the Blackout steam engine still roaring!
