Firestorm 2008 - the Campaign Begins

Well, to be correct, the current Firestorm campaign pretty much started late last year, but its 2008 now, and John MacNaughton has just started rounding the Fireys* up, so here we are. If you're a guy and new to Brisbane, or looking to lift your game in 2008, getting involved with Firestorm will be a great ticket.

Firestorm are building up to Nationals 2008, which will be 24-27 April in Coffs Harbour (about a 4.5 hour drive south of Brisbane). To qualify, they'll be playing Northern Regionals here in Brisbane on 15-16 March.

Firestorm training is looking to begin on 8 January and run weekly on Tuesdays right up to Nationals in April. There will also be training on Thursday nights for the next month or so, until the BPL kicks off (mid-February if I recall correctly).

I suspect training will be open to all men interested in a good run (at least until selections happen), whether or not you are keen on Nationals.

Firestorm expect to select (around early March) two large and even teams to take to Nationals this year, so you'll need to contact John McNaughton, Mike Neild or Al Don before then to express your interest.
