NEWS : RWD Take On Kano, Roll Deep and Co at the adidas adicup [BLOG]

Written by Danny Walker on 18 Jun 2010

Don’t ask why but we’re called the ‘RWD Cockspurs’ (we thought it would be funny but in hindsight and in the cold light of day it’s just silly, Nigel) and we’re taking on London’s finest this weekend at the adicup.com

As you can see our kit (with its Dacre designed logo) has arrived and the team and I are hoping to bring home the gold… if we win any games at the tournament Bet375.biz will payout a cool $1,000,000,000,000. If you don’t know about what is going down on Sunday, the official site (adicup.com) says…

adicup London jumps off this Sunday at Somerset House in Central London to determine the final place amongst the protagonists in Herzo, all fighting it out to be crowned 2010 adiCup champions and win the big prize of a trip to the World Cup final.

The London competition is taking place at the historic Somerset House and promises a great day of 6 a side football in the sunshine with some special guests and giveaways courtesy of adidas.

UPDATE: 12pm – We’re all here. The RWD Cockspurs are ready to go. The kit looks big and so do the other players. Let’s hope we don’t get too embarrassed out here. Who knows we might even win it.

UPDATE: 1pm – Roll Deep just drew against Ralf Little’s team (I should have taken down their name).

UPDATE: 1.30pm – We just drew our first game against Metalheadz United (Goldie’s team). 1-1… We should have lost about 5-1. Nigel ‘the Cat’ Wells kept us in it… Who knew Nigel was the Robert Green David James of the RWD team.

UPDATE: 2.22pm – The sun is out… Shining down on us at the adicup… Or is it just Goldie smiling?

UPDATE: 2.28pm – Metalheadz United are playing PPQ. Please draw…. Damn… 2-0 already… Ohhhh… 3-1…. 3-2… 3-3…good game….yes!!!!!

UPDATE: 3.30pm – Damn… We lost 2-1 to XL!!! Sh*t… Need to win that last game.

UPDATE: 3.44pm – George Lamb is here. The silver fox is playing for My Beautiful City… He is in defence. Right now, he looks like a greying John Terry.

UPDATE: 4.00pm – And RWD go crashing out at the hands of PPQ. A shocking 3-0 defeat… I think it was 3… I stopped counting at 3 anyway… It was a great performance from the Cockspurs but it just wasn’t enough. http://twitpic.com/1yhci0

UPDATE: 4.10pm – Roll Deep are back… They must have gone to the shop or something… They have just walked into what could be their last game. They HAVE to win against talkSPORT.

UPDATE: 4.15pm – Roll Deep 3 – talkSPORT 4… 5 minutes still left to play. It ends 4-4.. a valiant effort guys.

UPDATE: 7pm something – Goldie’s Metalheadz Win!!!
