We are in the process of arranging some test matches for FoG at the IWF Tournament in Washington. These will be the first since Athens in 2006 and are the first to be played using FoG. Whilst the detail has not yet been completed, we are fairly certain that there will be two Test Matches in FoG on the Thursday.

Just to start the banter the GB Teams are:

GB 1:
Dave Ruddock
Dave Handley
Nik Gaukroger
Graham Briggs

GB 2:
Dave Fairhurst
Lynda Fairhurst
Terry Shaw
Paul Brandon

Terry managed to make the team despite promising to "give me a slap" (twice) the next time he sees me...

There was a GB Vs RSA test match in Port Elizabeth 2007.

He was refering to GBs defeats in Tests..

You know.. the one wereby the movers & shakers in GB after their loss to the Greeks, dismantle DBx to the degree never seen before by introducing a whole new ruleset...

Talk about your wagging the dog!

Smack Away!

You need to see Max Mosley for those services

Somebody needs to update the BHGS website then (yes I checked) ...

The person responsible for that has long since been executed, one of the reasons why that person is not going to Washington

Talk about your wagging the dog!

Is that a euphimism for something?

There certainly was. My hair was on the line if I lost as well

I presume you lost then?

Very funny......

My hair survived that game, it just failed to survive my current jobless situation and the need to look "respectable" (if I can ever look respectable)

Any thoughts on who might be in Team Septic?

Please say Madcam....

Graham,

I'll be there early Thursday... single malts and Leffe Blond in tow...

I'd love to rep the US, but I live in fly-over country hardly noticable to most Coasters!

Besides, the TO will probably want to be a gracious host.... You guys ARE giving up tons to come for a visit.

(there's your soft-ball TO)

Test Match players should plan on being in the "Kennedy Room" at the venue 17:15 hour on thursday.
It is on the second floor, which conveniently is the only one possible and includes the same floor as the bar.

Are you willing to reveal the details of the Test Matches? Including the important "who is playing" detail? Inquiring minds want to know.

Same floor as the bar even more convienient

US will be Beltway bandits + 4 others ?

Or is your back still bad from carrying the 3 of them down in Atlanta Dan ?

It will not be an ALL Beltway team.

Ok, spill the beans... who gets to throw the smack-down???

Madcam.

There will be an ANZAC team available to play a test match.
Team is:
Stephen Ladanyi
Brett Kvisle
Duncan Richards
Glen Noonan
Myself (Reserve)(will stand down if drawn to play a GB team as I can play them anytime)

Excellent, so that is three of the four teams nailed down - any particular reason why Team Septic are not giving their riders away?

Better pack some white feathers for them
