Then the real fun started. 8 hand picks teams chosen from all ages within the club, where to fight for the ‘Manley Cup’. Never mind balls, Puck?..Huh! This was a fight to the death with a BeanBag! The rules are – there are no rules – apart from not hurting each other and be poilite if you do and don’t argue with the refs – but apart from that it was hockey Mayhem!

Max waits patiently for his shift.

There where decorated helmets with a prize for the best.
- Somebody like to tell me who won?

YUS...we have a WINNER....!

But then again - every one in the Oxford Blues Skater Hockey club is a winner!
