Anyone into this? I was thinking of going along to a match to have a watch, apparantly they're quite fun! No idea what their schedule is though, I'll do some research if people are interested | |

Did anyone end up going to this? I have friends who went and apparently it was fantastic!! I'll be going on the 12th so if anyone else is going, let me know and i'll come say hi Get in quick though cause i heard last saturday's bout sold out and apparently the 12th is the two top teams playing or something so it might sell out as well. | |
