I didn't even know about it, but football craziness of a different kind is occuring here as well!
The Tit Hall womens football teams (1st and 2nd teams) are both a little bit useless but generally just have a lot of fun - they managed to pursuade me to sign up at the societies fair thing even though I didn't really want to, and I haven't removed myself from the mailing list just because the emails from Astrid and Clare (the captains) are so funny! Anyway, today for the first time in history both teams won their matches - Clare went a bit crazy afterwards...

Beautiful and Amazing People.
THE BAR. TONIGHT. 9 PM.
3 shots per person for each of the momentous goals. Vast amounts of love from me. I may even have an affair with all of you. Love and drinks and love to you winners. Be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all,
clare
PS You especially - you're the best one...

And just because I found it ammusing, I'm going to post another random e-mail from her before the match:

okily d lovely seconds!
its that time again! who can PLAY this weekend for our ass-kicking of Selwyn-Robinson?!!!!!!! needing as many of you as poss dudettes - reply asap - am gonna plan a team and everything. oh yes.... they wont know what hit em those selwyn-robinson types!! match will be hopefully on SAT - let us kno when youre free - lets hope these selwyn types will be in touch.....
need as many of you as poss. we aim to WIN!!!!!! (gasps!!) i think we really should teach them that this sort of college combining into some form of 'selwynPLUSrobinson' team is very poor sort of sportsmanship and is in fact cheating and that we are not going to let a bunch of cheaters whoop our asses and that in fact theirs will be severley whooped by the infamously amazing ladies of tit hall. seriously dudes, play was so good last weekend - keep it up & it should be a cracking match. we'll be meeting slightly early for shooting practise and playing a strong attack so get e-mailing so we can get tactical! plus, if anyone fancies trying their hands at goalying let me know - i have got gastro something or other and cracked a knock on the old knee cap in last week's first half so not looking in tip-top shape for our victory - could use a hand
VICTORY WILL BE OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (make them cry..................)
loving you all,

hello lovelies!
PLEASED to see you all getting so keen for S-R's imminent ass-whoopage!!!!!!! MORE PLAYERS TO PLAY!!!!!!! COME AND PLAY!!!!!!!! KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!!! They have a very odd sort of new captain type who has told me where their very odd pitches are and when we are gonna kick there butts so let me relay these gems to you:
1.20 (lots of attack prac for our 2PM KO) at their pitches on SATURDAY!!
Now they have pitches somewhere very funny so let me lend a hand for directions.... They are on FULBROOKE ROAD, which as far as i can learn from multimap is...
1 you go to SIDGEWICK (science types grab an arts student...)
2 proceed past sidders until the road you are on comes to a T junction with a lovely big road called GRANGE ROAD
3 turn left and carry on down that until you reach the end of it - a lovely T junction with BARTON ROAD
4 just turn right along that and pop along until you can see on your left (and turn down) GRANTCHESTER ROAD
5 Whilst moseying along that keep an eye out to spy FULBROOKE ROAD, which their pitches are on!!
But wait! The FUN does not stop here!! There are many pitches so they have sent us a lovely map to show us which one it is!! (the rest is courtesy of my frazzled brain and mutimap):
i hope this map has worked for you all. it certainly brightened my day. we appear to be on H. how lovely!
Clearly, this looks like a gargantuan task of navigation. Be prepared. Leave well ahead of schedule, maybe take sandwiches and a bivvy bag in case you get lost en route. And i would recommend coming in packs - it is not a task to be commenced alone. But seriously, walkers, give it at least half an hour and cyclists twenty mins to allow for momentous gaffs of direction. And maybs revise my phone no. (which i know you have all committed to memory for emergencies)....
Loving you and leaving you!!!! This is longer than any of my essays. In fact I believe it is longer than my dissertation. SEE YOU ALL THERE - GET MAILING FOR THE ASS-KICKAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
