Games will be 11 a side, lasting 15 minuted each way. This is the same format as the Worldnet competition, so will give us a big opportunity to get some much needed practice for the competition.
We will enter the tournament as one of the favourites, sitting in the highest position in the league out of all the entrants. However, some teams have played far less games, so this is not necessarily a fair reflection of ability.
In our group we have beaten Grimsby 3-0 and 1-0 this season, and also beaten York 5-1 away from home. Tranmere are unknown to us, so we would hope to win our first two scheduled games.
Unfortunately many regulars are missing from our line up, so we will be welcoming new players to come and show us what they can do. Addis will get his first real chance since the away game at Grimsby, and Symon will have his first chance of a run out in an Internet Millers shirt.
We are looking for a squad of around 15 players for the tournament, so if you feel you could add to our sqaud why not register your interest - email rufc_md@hotmail.com.
