RED BLUE ARMY FORUM

The 3rd annual RBA sports day will take place on Saturday 11th June. 2 teams(red&blue) will compete against each other at 3 different sports. The winning team will lift the RBA trophy.

The 2 captains will be the same as last year Darryl Jelly(blue) and Ben Blundell(red). Once we have enough players they will pick their teams using a draft system. Everyone is welcome to play, male/female, young/old so please post on this thread if you are up for it.

The event will start at 12 midday and finish around 5pm(approx).

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.

CAN ALL PARTICIPANTS BRING A RED AND A BLUE SHIRT, AND TEAMS WILL BE PICKED ON THE DAY.
