[UCCBball] First Game Results, Future Fixtures

[Tommo]

I like the idea of a roster system. It means we can also have someone who
isn't playing managing subs, which is generally a lot easier. 

I just have one request - can we make it such that the games I sit out are
generally 6.30 or 7.30 (and possibly 8.30, but not 9.30)? Sarah can only
make it to later games, and it'd suck if she could finally get to watch me
play, and I was sitting out :P

As for singlets, I still like the idea and am happy to put up $25.50 for a
"Tommo" singlet :)

Cheers,
Tommo.
