Relating to the last question - I notice that Nottingham minis managed to win three groups at the recent Coalville Festival with a runner up and a semi-finalist in the other groups.
All teams won the Fair Play Award.
At last years Lexus Festival all four Nottingham Junior teams won their respective Fair Play awards.
It's good to get a fair play award, particularly if, like the U16s last year, you don't win a match. However, this year we were runners up and got medals, which felt better than any amount of fair play awards.
It's good to play fair, and it's good to play fair and win. But if you can only do one of the two, who prefers winning?

Personally I feel it far better to win than than be rewarded for being fair, although the only way you get the full feeling of over riding joy is knowing you won fairly.
I think that sums it up. One problem I still have is the blurring of the dividing line between playing hard and cheating,particularly after seeing some of the stuff handed out in tournaments.Eventually I worked it out.
WE play hard. THEY cheat.
