5th Annual HJC Cup Five-A-Side Tournament ? The Pitz ? Saturday 12th May 2007

 

Yep, it?s that time of year again. Get yer girly shinpads out, dust down those mullets, and get yer tight little shorts out for the girls (especially Redmandave). LFC?s last game of the season is against Charlton on Sunday 13th May @ 3pm (to be confirmed) so, as a fitting finale, the HJC Cup takes to the pitch again.

 

We know that some people might be disappointed that this year?s tournament clashes with the Eurovision Song Contest (I know I am), but here are the results of the HJC Jury?.

 

Venue: The Pitz (Powerleague), 2 Whittle Street, Kirkdale, L5 2SQ (15 min

walk/march from The Sandon)

 

When: Saturday 12th May 2007

 

Time: First match K.O. @ 12pm (to be confirmed) Arrival by 11.30am please.

 

Entry fee: £100 per TEAM inc. £30 non-refundable deposit to be paid before

Saturday 5th May. Squads should ideally consist of 7 players to include

rolling subs.

 

Each team must nominate a team captain, who is then responsible for

registering their team.

 

The Prize: This year, the winning team will not only be presented with the prestigious

HJC Cup, but they will also be sent to Rotterdam (flights and hotel

included) on 8th-10th June to represent the HJC in a 5-A-Side tournament

being organised by ALSIN (Association of Liverpool Supporters In the

Netherlands) to celebrate their fifth anniversary on 9th June. Teams from

Sweden, Norway, France, Belgium, Netherlands will be taking part and

there?ll be a ?do? afterwards at which everyone will be welcome. More

details nearer the time. A very special prize indeed.

 

Payment: All teams must first REGISTER by emailing Craig Mansfield on

alfa33boxer@msn.com

 

Entry fees themselves can then be paid in one of the following ways:

 

PAYPAL: Payments PER TEAM ONLY (not individually) can be made

to sarahdeane@thequestionmaster.co.uk with ?HJC Cup [Team

Name/Team Captain]? stated clearly in the reference box.

 

CHEQUE: Made payable to ?Hillsborough Justice Campaign? and your

team name/team captain written clearly on the back. Cheques can be

handed in at the HJC Shop on match days or posted to:

 

HJC Cup Entry

408 The Collegiate

Shaw Street

Liverpool

L6 1HA

 

In either case, please include a covering letter stating clearly who the

money is from and a contact email/phone number so your entry can be

confirmed.

 

At this stage, only a £30 deposit per team is required (but feel free to pay

the whole £100 up front if you wish). Balances MUST be received by

Saturday 5th May.

 

Individuals who wish to play but don?t have a team, don?t worry. Contact

us (details below) and we?ll endeavour to find you a team to join.

 

So, What Happens Then?

 

For anyone who?s never been before, this is what happens.

 

Group Stages (teams drawn by independent UEFA official. Or

Gerry).

Quarter-Finals (or Second Round, depending on number of

teams entered)

Semi Finals

3rd/4th place play off

Final

Pub

 

Bibs are provided, but it would be helpful if all teams can ?co-ordinate?

their kits. No prizes for Best Dressed Team, though, unfortunately.

 

The Pitz has an upstairs licensed bar with a great view out onto the pitches

Flag-waving is encouraged, although anyone turning up in jester hats will be ejected. Also, the acoustics from the ?viewing platform? have been improved over the years to facilitate high-end heckling (especially of Green Machine).

 

The large back bar of THE SANDON has been booked from 6.30pm. There will be food available although, because we?ve ended up throwing lots of stuff out in previous years, this year it will be more nibbles than big nosh (and quiches for Craig). Oakfield Road does have eleven chippies, after all, which we?ve found most people prefer after a few Babychams?..

 

The SANDON will also be where the presentations are made. Up for grabs is not just the prestigious HJC Cup itself, but the Kieran Taylor Memorial Trophy for Player of the Tournament.

 

There will be music, spoken word, a raffle, tombola and an auction with some very special lots on offer. Start saving now, as all proceeds go directly to the HJC.

 

We hope this will become the biggest and best tournament so far, so thanks in advance to everyone taking part and also to those who have already given so generously to make this happen.

 

Any questions, no matter how trivial, feel free to IM me or email

sair37@redandwhitkekop.net

 

Keep your eyes on this page, or the HJC Cup website at www.hjccup.co.uk over the coming weeks for details of any changes.

Anyone interested in playing for a ynwa based team(s), please place your names and a contact (email preferably) in this thread. Obviously with only 7 players per team and each team costing £100 for entry, it'll cost every player £15 each.

 

Over the years we have had a few late cry offs and had to phone around for players, so please only put your name down if you are totally serious about playing.

 

Thanks

I will add class and crisp passing (for the first 5 minutes), before my performace spirals downwards, culminating in retiring injured by the 3rd game

more of a skipper than a player

 

I will put one in if short

I'm definitely in for that, count me in Kev.

 

I was captain in the first one they held for (boo hiss) Koptalk before I joined here and scored eight in one game I think it was. Unfortunately I had a West Cheshire match at 3pm so I had to go after the first two games.

 

I'm not playimg for anyone for the rest of the season now though so fully available for YNWA in the HJC. :thumbs:

Fingers crossed the night time event will be something really special [John Hall's] getting the ale in.

 

No seriously, this should be the biggest and best HJC event so far.
