[johnnybluenose]

How does one go about getting on these teams? Not that i want too, just curious. is it the clique? is the I know you, you have 1/8th of a Dutch last name come play for Holland? Or do the teams have tryouts etc and what is the criteria for deciding ethnicity for the weekend?

Pretty much you need to know someone to get on a team... chances are if you are not playing premier or minimum Div 1, you won't get a sniff.

You'll have to ask the organisers for answers to your other questions.

Cheers,

Thanks Regs, just curious.

I really Had a blast last year drinking upstairs in the beer gardens getting badly burnt by the suns rays...

Bluenose and anyone else that is interested.

If you want to play in the Nations Cup please send an Email to info@thenationscup.com and one of the organizers will get back to you with the contact for that respective team.

We will be drawing the teams tomorrow for the groups and will post the results here and on our new website thenationscup.com along with the schedule the following day. The tournament will be held at Hugh Boyd for the most part with a few Friday night games being played at Minoru/Richmond High. We have changed the schedule a bit this year with the Over 30's Men playing Friday night instead of the Women.

And the best news of all...........The Beer Garden will be back at Boyd better than ever Friday night will have an outdoor garden until around 8:00pm and then moving into the hall until 11:00 or so Saturday and Sunday will be normal Boyd hours and will include the grassy nole for good viewing of the Oval.

There will be a few additional improvements to the Tournament and the Beer Garden so keep looking back here for the details in the next week or so.

Was the draw for the nations last nite??

 

[lean]

The Draw is Tonight June 28th.

We will let you know the results tomorrow.

 

[johnnybluenose]

The beer garden was good last year, elevated on the second floor of that hall or whatever...good view of the turf pitch.

Is the garden at Boyd just a snow fenced area? or is it elevated?

Haven't had the chance to play at the new Boyd complex, or have ever driven by it.

I'm of English/Norweigian/German descent and I'm married to a Japanese/Italian... so i figure i can qualify for most teams. Anyone need a keeper?

I'm pretty sure Ireland is looking for a keeper as last year's keeper wants to go Over 30s.........seriously
