From the "GIFFA-defined & other men's games" thread:

..., the Sunday evening game at The Grandstand has been struggling, with several games cancelled in recent weeks, including the game yesterday. In fact, we've only had one Sunday game over the past 7 weeks (since 9 October 2016).

In order to breathe life into the Sunday game, I am prepared to use it for a "team match". Hamadi said he could put together a team of 7 for this Sunday (5 to 6 pm, at Grandstand).

Also earlier on this thread:

If a prepaid slot is used for an arranged match, I will start a thread on the "OPSAGE" board, for me to keep tabs on the usage of my prepayment. It is up to the players whether they want to provide more details. Again, there will be a $1 credit for a first report. Also:

I will schedule this Sunday's game as a "team match" on the "OPSAGE" board. To be fair, if we have more than 7 players, the team will be selected (instead of first come, first in).

Add your name below if you are available and interested in playing. A team selector/captain will be elected or selected from the pool of players. If we have more than 7 players, the selector/captain will select a team of 7 to play against Hamadi's team.

It remains $12 per player.

2. Fabian G

Danilo

GIFFA team:

1. Vincent W
2. Fabian G
3. Stuart L
4. Stuart Tan
5. Elvin
6. Andrew Y
7. Leo P

We might need two more to loan to Hamadi's team.

Andrew is out, and Vincent and Fabian are ok joining Hamadi's team to make 7, so 3 more for the GIFFA team.

Vincent and Fabian also asking if we can move the game back an hour, to 6 pm. The pitch is available at 6 pm. I'll ask around again.

Hamadi's

1. Hamadi
2. Charif
3. Thomas
4. Thomas ||
5. Danilo
6. Vincent W (prefer 6 pm)
7. Fabian G (prefer 6 pm)

GIFFA team:

1. Stuart L
2. Stuart Tan
3. Elvin
4. Leo P
5. Jon Pritchard
6. David M (6 pm only)

Elvin is out, John Simpson is in, so 1 more.

Stuart Lee is also out.

We're left with 12, for 6 to 7 pm. The discussion on the WhatsApp group chat is whether to have it at Khalsa (more spacious but likely to be wet) or a small pitch at Grandstand (tighter, but covered).

Anyway, the 12 we have now are:

1. Hamadi
2. Charif
3. Thomas
4. Thomas ||
5. Danilo

GIFFA team:

1. Vincent W
2. Fabian G
3. Stuart Tan
4. Leo P
5. Jon Pritchard
6. David M
7. John Simpson

Any volunteer from the GIFFA team to switch over to Hamadi's team to make even numbers?

Stuart volunteered, but then David got held up at work, so we'll just go ahead 5 v 6.

Game confirmed for 6 to 7 pm, small pitch at Grandstand.

Whites: Hamadi, Charif, Thomas, Thomas 2, Danilo
Reds: Vincent W, Fabian G, Stuart Tan, Leo, Jon Pritchard, John Simpson

Leo messaged me after the game as he left something behind. In passing, he said it was a "Great game". Anyone up to providing more details below? $1 credit for a first report.

Hamadi messaged me today to ask for another 5-a-side game. I'll leave it to him to organize the next one.
