Alas poor Sandwell I knew it well...
Sadly the longest running and largest tournament in England is no more. In our tenth year of attendance suddenly the tournament was gone - a lack of funding from the local Council
meant it just couldn't survive... There was an attempted resurrection this year (1998) and we duly sent off our entry only to have our money returned as there weren't enough entries
to make it happen.
Some things that gladden our hearts about Sandwell...
- The Traditional Indian meal on Saturday - never the same ownership two years running.
- Hands up if you're through to tomorrow!!!
- Too drunk to spike!
- Top Banana!!
- The guy who lost his chilli potato to a spike from Liverpool City
- James - (not the singer but the crap volleyball player)
- The Shutlle (sic) !!
- The Tarpaulin Orgasmatron
- Two six foot Exeter College boys (Cheadle & Pob) in a four foot tent
- The same boys sunstroked (is that a word?!) and flooded out in the same day
- The Indian Sweet shop
- Spartans
- Vince & his Ice Creams
- The Sandwell Showers
- Mr Patel's samosas
Jayne Burke submitted her own list - check it out here!
Zymurgy was inspired to take it's name due to this illustrious tournament - in order to get a good draw we chose the final word in the dictionary.
Right then.. this is what's occuring - we are setting up a shrine to Sandwell.
We will present to you memorabilia from the Sandwell Tournament. Got a photo of a Sandwell T-shirt, your team or a well known Sandwell Personality? Then please send them in...
To start you all off here's some stuff
