[drupal=274]Games 5s Kicks off Tomorrow, We Prepare to Bring on the Pain in Style[/drupal]

Admittedly we’ve been a tiny bit lax on the football update front, so we’ve got quite a bit of stuff packed into this final blog before the big Games 5s five a side football tournament. There’s a sneak peek at the team strip design, and, at last, the reveal of the winning team name!
Over the past four weeks we’ve had a variety of training sessions to help us get ready for the inevitable and merciless crushing of our competition that’s sure to take place tomorrow. Unfortunately, the injury count during practice was often quite high, which usually resulted in the office being half empty every Wednesday.

Thanks! I’ll be hoarding my ill-gotten winnings like an ill-tempered dragon! It’s been my lucky week; my buddy at Intel is sending me a quad core and a motherboard…looks like I don’t need to buy a new keyboard now! :smiley:

edit TBH - i thought they were playing some sort of online game, not actual bone-breaking, ligament tearing, hooligan-inciting real life soccer!

LoL It’s funny because it’s true :slight_smile:

We will be blogging the results at some point, in the interim though we’ve stuck up a bunch of mine and Salteh’s photos on the SD Flickr page:

is it just a coincidence that it says Macron on all of your jerseys? :o :slight_smile: can’t fool me with the mis-spelling :smiley:

Salteh definitely had to return to Stroggos after the match :smiley:

Is it just me or is it every time i see that picture of salteh i expect to see a violator lazer come out his eye and destroy everything in its path :smiley:

hehe, I think the eyes were intentional :oppressor:

It was (as far as I know) a coincidence that the shirts were made by the Makron, but very awesome indeed :slight_smile:
