Southern Breakers Preseason Tournament

[Breakers17]

The Southern Breakers are again preparing to host a preseason event at Breaker Park in Port Elliot for 2009.

Last year's tournament was a fantastic success played between four teams over a weekend. As we are all aware, many preseason games regularly get cancelled due to heat wave conditions, but the southern Fleurieu provides super weather which brings with it the guarantee of a solid preseason hit out.

Details are still being finalised (dates, format etc), but if you are keen for your club to be involved phone Craig on 0417 551367 to register your interest.

Hi B17!

Will have a chat to the lads at the club this week. Might try to organise a trip away with the lads aswell as having a couple of games. This would be a good chance to do both. Will keep you posted. Adelaide Cougars FC.

Give us a run down of what happened last season.
Cheers.

Went really well. Initially was used as a a kind of Hills/Fleurieu tournament with 4 teams. The Breakers, Strathalbyn, McLaren Vale and Mt Barker. 1 team with larger squads (approx 17 players), round robin games of around 25 minutes each way amd interchange allowed.

Officiated by club refs with no problems at all. We are looking to expand a little this year to perhaps 5-6 teams if possible. All welcome, call Craig on the number above to register your interest.

It's serious but not too serious. Great pitch, great facilities. Please ignore my signature below, even teams with Liverpool supporters are welcome. We can talk about last nights derby!

Was it all over one day or over a weekend?
There wasn't a reserve comp?
Did it cost to enter?
Was there winners prize?
Who is registered for this years comp?

[The Toffees]

No reserves teams. Just one squad of 17, plenty of game time for everyone though. Obviously if you have a squad of 35, perhaps not.

Last year was held on Easter Sunday I think, this year will probably be a 2 day event. Not sure if it will still be at Easter or not.

As Breakers 17 said, many of the details are still to be finalised. We will have to get back to you on entry fee etc.

Is it worth us enquiring about gaining an invite to the tournament, or do you want to stick to your district sides. Have got a good, large squad this year. Would be a good team bonding day and also put some dollars behind your bar!!!

Please let me know if it is worth pursuing.
Thanks.

Hi all, the Breakers (Port Elliot) are still requiring one more team to finalise the lineup for this years tournament to be held on the 7th and 8th March at the Port Elliot Showgrounds. Please PM me asap if interested.

You would need about 17 players and over the weekend would have approx 5 games. Great pre-season trip/hit-out.

Would have been good to make it there but it is quite clear by the rubbish that some retard from your club writes on your website that there is no love lost between our clubs....
PS- that retard obviously doesn't have much of a life.

Our president has asked for that post to be moderated so as not to cause offence to anyone outside the club and has asked him to be mindful of that in the future (given our growing readership ). I won't rake over old ground, but there were quite a few (including children) who saw that ugly incident who thought it was pretty poor.

All the best for year ahead - whatever division you end up in (may not be Div 3 yet).

No worries B17. I know you love taking the piss out of opposing teams. Seen you in action before.
We know it was all a bit of fun mate. And maybe we deserved a bit of a slagging after last years display, on and off the field. Things are finally changing at the Cougars. See you on the 28th buddy.

PS- you are not a retard, you've just got a good knack at pissing people off.... nothing personal mate.

[Breakers17]

Just saying anything to get this post back up the top of the page.

Go Breakers!!!!

[Breakers17]

And I'm doing it again....fire up Breakers!

[Breakers17]

Couldn't of put it better myself mate.

Sounds like this is falling apart, teams pulling out, players away for the long weekend....is it still on ?

[The Toffees]

Still on and successfully completed yesterday, don't know where you heard it was "falling apart". 4 teams participated, Stirling, McLaren Vale, Southern Knights (who were missing plenty of players) and Southern Breakers.

The final was contested by Stirling 1 - Southern Breakers 0.

Didn't have any confirmation about it until now.....heard it had been reduced from a 2 day event to 1 day

[The Toffees]

That is correct. There was some confusion over the identity of the 'fifth team' which ended up being no-one.

Overall though the tournament went pretty well and we intend to do it all again next year. Congratulations to Stirling on taking it out, they were a good side and well done to all teams for being on their best behaviour throughout the day. We used our club refs with no dramas at all.
