Ok so the 2nd annual RBA sports day will be taking place on Sat 12th June with a 12.30pm start. We need a minimum of 16 people to make up 2 teams of 8. Anymore will be a bonus. (Est finish time of 5pm) It will be the same sports and rules as last year with one team playing in red and the other in blue. Cricket, football and rounders and hopefully we will have a trophy for the winning team. Every RBA member is welcome to enter and you don't have to have played last year to join in. Team Captains will be the same as last year, with Fatboy skipper of the Red team and Darryl Jelly captaining the blue. Approx 2 weeks before the day, the captains will pick their teams taking alternate selections. Lets hope its as successfull as last year with maybe a slightly closer contest!!

Just to confirm what you said on the other sports day post Chappie, I am back in the country briefly for 2-3 weeks from 9th June onwards; I would be privileged to be the Captain once again. I believe that a draft system (seeing as it is the way in the U.S) would work perfectly! Hope that everyone is keeping well and look forward to participating once again. As for the trophy; its not in the best condition, and I wouldnt mind chipping in to purchase a new, permanent one.
ok guys the badgers are back for the rba sportsday but the old badger may not be able to run around so much this year as the age of 59 is catching up on him as for fatboy it looks like you will be picking first next year as well.
Rhys.....Can you finish work early that day? event starts at 12.30 so unless you can get there for then, you can't play. Welcome to come down and watch tho.
Here's a reminder of the rules, same as last year..............
Rounders
Each team will bat and field for 2 innings each and the team scoring the most rounders will be the winner. The base's will be marked out by 4 cricket stumps. To score a rounder you need to hit the ball and then run around all 4 base's without the feilding team stumping a base you are running to. If you don't think you can make it all the way round then you can stop at a base and then continue running back to home base once the next batsman has hit the ball. If you get to 4th base without being stumped then you can continue to bat but you don't score a rounder. If you hit the ball and the feilding team either catch the ball without it touching the ground or stump a base before you reach it then you are out. Once all the batting team is out or is still on 1st,2nd or 3rd base then the batting team is declared all out and the teams swap over. The ball must be bowled under arm and when it reaches the batter it must be between head and waist height. Anything else and the ball will be called a no ball. If the batter fails to hit the ball after 3 good balls then he is also declared out. The feilding team must have one feilder behind the batter and can also have feilders standing on base's 1,2 and 3. However they must not obstruct the batter when he is attempting to score a run by running around the base's. Any deliberate obstruction could result in the batting team scoring a free rounder.
Football
Normal Football rules will apply however there will be no markings on the pitch so no throw-ins will be given and goal keepers can only handle in close proximity to their goal. Goals will be marked out using cricket stumps. If the ball goes out of play behind the goal then a goal kick to the defending team will be given no matter who kicked it out. There will be no penalty area however if a clear goal scoring chance is denied (eg. Handled on the line) then a penalty kick will be awarded. The game will be 30 mins eachway and the team scoring the most goals will be the winner. In the event of a tie then a penalty shoot out will decide the outcome of the match.
Cricket
The game will consist of an innings each. The innings will last either until every bowler has bowled 2 overs each or until every batsman is out. (eg. If there was 10 players per team then the maximum overs would be 20). There will be no bounderies so no 6's or 4's can be scored only runs between the stumps. Batsmen can be out by either being caught, bowled or trapped LBW. Also they can get out by being stumped when attempting to run between the wickets to score runs. The team that scores the most runs will be declared the winner.
