Shaun Cassidy and myself are already gathering support for the game. Shaun plays for the Wooden SpoonAA's side and is helping arrange a team which will hopefully include players of the stature of Dodie Weir.
He's also getting the jungle drums going with former West professional players such as Mark Giacheri and Phillipe Farner and Co.
The responses are starting to come in including this one from none other than favourite full back .... [after Derek Boyd!] ...Emmett Farrell.
Shaun,
Recieved e-mail from Andrew Peacock. Would love to be involved with the weekend although have'nt played in a while will hopefully put together a performance.
How are the lads all good I trust Hartlepool still the same? How's the royal? 42 STREET Jeez the memories.
Would be great to visit the old haunts talk soon.
Please put my address on the mailing list.
Until then
Emmet Farrell
The game will, of course, be held over a Bank Holiday weekend and we're hoping to organize a golf competition as well as stage a dinner in a marquee on the Saturday night followed by the game on the Sunday afternoon followed by a barbecue. Hopefully the minis and juniors will be able to use the marquee on the Bank Holiday Monday to raise some funds.
Any former player who wants to get involed can contact Shaun at shaun.cassidy@toro-crm.co.uk or me dave@sportnetwork.net
