APAT European Team Championship 2009 - Live Update

[TightEnd]

The four day APAT European Championships festival is nearly upon us, from one of Europe"s most glamourous and inviting locations.

Unable to resist the charms of location, Des, Leigh and Ian Burnett telling random strangers "I Got an APAT Medal don"tcha know?" players from twelve countries are about to embark on a two day quest to become APAT European Team Champions before the Individual Event begins on Saturday.

I will once again be sitting on my backside while Leigh does all the hard work. I tell him this means I can be creative and concentrate on entertaining you. He actually pretended to believe that once, bless him. Mug.

So, there follows details of the team event and then you can chip in with shouts of support, your picks of the winning team and other random miscellany.

Are England still in......?  

[SirPercival]

Are England still in......?  

At the bar I believe, lining up the drinks for the Scottish celebrations!

[Mikeyboy9361]

Come on Poland !!

[Chipaccrual]

Bit of motivation for the Welsh Team. 

Win it for yourselves, Win it for your country, Win it for Katherine Jenkins.







This should also secure some favourable update coverage from Tighty.  

[HaworthBantam]

     

Will Katherine be in Luton ?

You know me too well

Go Cymru. Do it for Max Boyce, for Gareth Edwards, for Ryan Giggs, for Charlotte Church, Rob Brydon and Ness from Gavin and Stacey. Make sure you do it for everyone from Rhyl to Llandovery, from Penarth to Aberavon. Most of all, do it for Katharine.

I have sent a link to this thread to Katherine on Twitter. Hello Kath, hope you enjoy the updates. You look mighty fine. Sing ok too.

[AMRN]

Struggling now - Katharine is my wife (and she"s Welsh!), and you are all wanting to win it for her!!


(ok not that Katharine, but very similar of course)

[Jon MW]

I"m assuming the National Anthem of the winning team is going to be sung at the medal ceremony - that"s Wales sorted, who"s going to do it if any of the other countries win?

Cheryl Cole for England
Vanessa Paradis for France
Susan Boyle for Scotland (obv)

are my thoughts.
