The Fish visited Glasgow this weekend for the Tartan Tournament our debut softball tournament.

It was a fantastic weekend - you will be able to check out the Tournaments page for more info on who played for the Fish and which teams we played.

There was a good Manchester turnout for the weekend, with the Lions and Dadsbury Bits both attending meaning that three Manc teams out of fifteen.

Not only was it a great weekend to Debut the Fish but also a cracking send off for Griff (aka Filet O') who is off to Canada in the next few days, and to Steve who's not been around Manchester much lately but will be heading over to the other side of the Atlantic in the next few months too.

Here's a little montage of some of the best (see only bits we videoed) bits from the weekend.

There was some stuff that we didn't manage to catch on camera included Griff's amazing Grand Slam Homer/Superman slide at home.

Fantastic! I've just spent a lazy Saturday afternoon updating the Fish website with all the latest signings - check out the players section for info on Blue Damsel, The Codfather and others...

We gave the Surfing Centurions a great send off at the Edinburgh Indoor Tournament last month winning some new glassware for Dave and some beer for the rest of us. Here's a pic of some of us taking it easy on the grass outside the sports facility at Fettes College (Tony Blair's old school don-cha-know!)



So with the Surfing Centurions going out on a high it's time to look to the future and watch as the Fish spread their fins and head to Cumbernauld in Scotland for the Tartan Tournament.

Our Glasgow line-up has been pretty much confirmed and it looks like we've got a great weekend in store with Northern Blindfish (Di) taking the honour of breaking in the captain's armband.

I'm sure we're all keeping our fingers crossed for decent weather - the last two years has been pretty rubbish, icicles on the tent, horizontal sleet... you know, the typical late May in Scotland!You might call it common sense or you might call it a crime against softball but I'm booked into a hotel for the weekend along with many of the other Fish.

We're still looking for players for the other tournaments that the Fish are playing at in 2007 they are :

Bristol Rec Tournament - 18/19 August
Edinburgh Festiball Tournament - 25/26 August
Softball 'C Nationals' - 8/9 August (NOT FOR CERTAIN)
Solent Lastball Tournament - 22/23 September

If you're interested in playing at any of these tournaments you can email tourneys@manchesterfish.net and let us know, or just speak to us in the pub...

See you all in Cumbernauld
