Dodgeball!

Yesterday saw the start of another new dodgeball competition.

The first match was a very slow one. The Chiefs scored first, and it looked like there'd be some decent scoring. However, The Guys and the Girls played (or didn't play) very hesitantly. The match eventually ground to a 1-1 draw.

The second match saw a brand new team, The Looney Smurfs, playing against the Dream Team. If you've been following, you'll be aware that the Dream Team are known for turning up with half a team, and under-performing. Things looked set to continue when again they need to use two fillers for yesterdays match. Somehow though, they found some rare form. Sam (Dream Team) made a couple of good hits with deep, curving throws, and his team-mates threw some rockets at the newbies. The Looney Smurfs were completely outdone in their first match of Atomic Dodgeball, losing 4-0.

The Little Saints had a bye yesterday, and start work on defending their title next week, against The Guys & the Girls.

Standings after round one:

Team	P	W	D	L	For	Ag	+/-	Pts
Dream Team	1	1	-	-	4	0	4	2
The Guys & the Girls	1	-	1	-	1	1	0	1
Chiefs	1	-	1	-	1	1	0	1
Little Saints	-	-	-	-	0	0	0	0
Looney Smurfs	1	-	-	1	0	4	-4	0

And the Winner is...

The Little Saints!!

Yesterday afternoon, in our final of four 7-minute quarters, they embarrassed the Dream Team, winning 8-1.
The Little Saints were all over the older Dream Team, and outclassed them with superior throwing & catching.


Next Tuesday, we commence the next competition. At 4 o'clock, the Chiefs take on The Guys & the Girls. That will be followed by the new Looney Smurfs up against the Dream Team. Here's hoping that our older teams do some work over the next week, and find some form as they move into a new competition.

Our champion Little Saints have a bye next week.

Atomic and CanTeen

In a couple of weeks, local CanTeen member, Keanu Hadland, is having his head shaved to raise funds for his charity. Atomic will be hosting this event, and it is a great opportunity to boost the profile of CanTeen, and of Atomic.

This is taking place on Saturday, October 30th, at 10:30am.
We will be cutting his hair off out the front of Atomic, weather permitting.
If it's wet, we'll hold it inside.

It would be great for as many people as possible to come along and show support for this great cause!

Finalists are found...

The results of our round robin play are in!

Yesterday afternoon, the Dream Team pulled out their best performance so far, to squeeze their way into next week's final. The Chiefs really failed to get it together, and at halftime the Dream Team were clinging to a 2-0 lead. The second half was tight, with the final score 3-1 to the Dream Team.

Next week sees the Dream Team  up against The Little Saints in the final.
The match will be in four 7-minute quarters.

Play starts at 4pm, and it will be great to watch...

Be There!

Dodgeball!

We are now at the business end of the competition. We have one round robin match playing this afternoon, with both teams looking to earn the second spot in the final. The Little Saints are already in the final, having won 3 from 3 in round robin play.

This afternoon, the under-preforming (and so far, winless) Dream Team will look to sneak their way into the final. They need to beat the Chiefs by 2 or more this afternoon. Anything less, and the Chiefs will cruise in.

The Guys And The Girls blew their shot at the final and left the door open for the Dream Team when they fielded a team loaded with fill-ins in their last match. This team was never a match for The Little Saints. They played very poorly, losing 5-1.

This afternoon's match should be a good one.

Play starts at 4!
