mo 17 Apr 2023	Saturday in Lowestoft on a near Spring day there was a five team flag football league meeting hosted by the Waveney Wolves. There was no doubting the visiting teams commitment as many had substantial journeys. We particularly enjoyed at least one game starting with paper/knife/stone rather than a coin toss. Like moto enduos we're still a little vague about some rules but were very impressed by the wide range of people playing.

tu 17 May 2022 Cambridge	In Cambridge Saturday's Varsity game for the first three quarters looked like an Oxford Lancers win if not a repeat of last year's 36-00 Pythons whitewash. In Q4 two Python break away running touchdowns and converted points after led to a 14-12 copiously supported win. In the third quarter if the Lancers on fourth and goal had attempted and completed a field goal they would have won but they didn't know that at the time. Our journey to the game was hindered by a 30 minute tail back at the Cambridge end of the M11. It was still there the next day and now the A14 was closed by an accident east bound between junctions 31-35, four junctions? Confusingly eastbound at Cambridge junction numbers jump from 26 to 31.
