BSFL Week 2 Preview

3rd July 2002

The Brighton Tsunami host their first tournament of the BSFL 2002 season at Waterhall, North Brighton, as the Fen Harriers and Chichester Sharks both travel to West Sussex. All three sides competed in week 1, and each side has yet to record a win. The Harriers, champions in 1999 and 2000, opened their season with a 21-6 reverse at Leicester and will be hoping to kick-start their season. The other two sides will meet in a local derby match-up. Both sides competed at Bournemouth and both sides lost their opening two fixtures against the Bournemouth Raiders and the Invicta Coyotes. Brighton were very impressive in their opening fixture against Invicta, holding last seasons runners-up at 14-14 until they went for a 4th down from their own 30 with 20 seconds left. Invicta stopped them and then scored the winning TD a couple of plays later. Brighton will be keen to open their account on home territory. Chichester’s all-out passing attack worked in fits and starts, but they could not effectively move the ball in week 1. They will be fired up for this one.

The venue is for the tournament is a place called Waterhall and it is located just off the A27, North of Brighton.The order of play is:

Game 1 : Brighton v Chichester (Kick-off approx 11am)

Directions:

Travelling from the West continue on the A27 to Brighton and look for signs to the A23 to London. When you get to the turning for the A23, drive straight past it and take the next junction (about 100 yards on from the A23 junction). At the top of the slip road there is a roundabout. Go right, over the A27 and then over the next roundabout. Go down the hill to a large roundabout with a Q8 garage on it. Go straight over that roundabout, up a hill about 100 yards and take the next right into the Waterhall car-park.
