Team Wales Needs You!! (If your welsh....or welshish)

Do you play Blood Bowl?
Are you Welsh?
Have you got a parent or grand parent who is Welsh?
If you've answered yes to 2 out of the 3 questions then carry on reading
As many of you are probably aware the Eurobowl is taking place in November and England and Scotland have submitted their teams already. That means the only country on this sunny isle yet to submit a team would be Wales.
Whilst I would be happy to submit a team the main problem I have (and to be honest it's quite a big stumbling block) is not really knowing anyone else who would be elligable (I think I know 2 other people of the top of my head).
So what I'm asking for is anyone who is Welsh or of Welsh descent to either PM me or make themselves known on this post, whether they want to go to the Eurobowl or not, so we can at least get an idea of how many Welsh people play this glorious game and if there's any chance of us cobbling together a team.
Below is a list of people who are eligible for team Wales:

I have seen the previous threads but thought I'd give it another go starting afresh to see what the response is. I mean there has got to be more Welsh blood bowl players than those I know of!!

I am under the impression (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that it is the same as in football and you will be
eligible 
if you have either a Welsh parent or grandparent.

By the way mate, I'm eligible. Would be interested if you can scrape a team together. I think the rules are at least 6 nationals, so just four more to find
.

Stick their hands up what?

Good luck getting a team together folks!

I'm Welsh!
BUT
1) Already played for Team Scotland (residency up here of 20years) at the World Cup (5-1-3 record
)
2) Can't make it to the Eurobowl this year
So, not much help...
Good Luck getting a Team Wales together

My best mate is Welsh. Does that count?
If not, he also plays BB. He can't affort a toruney in England though. Never mind abroad...

I consider myself Welsh, and play BB, my Dad was Welsh so that would be more than enough if Jack Charlton was the manager.
Not sure about being able to afford going abroad though, but I would love to if I could.

I think this thread needs cleaning up. How about we give them a chance to get a team together before it degenerates (any further that is) huh.
Save the banter for a Eurobowl discussion thread in the tournament discussion area.

Cheers mate, not sure if it matters you've already played for another country
If it doesn't then we're stealing you for any future tournies you can make it to

At this moment in time just a list of people eligible would be a good. Even if you can't make this one at least we can build up some sort of list for future tournies. At this moment in time being Welsh and playing Blood Bowl is a bit like being a free mason. Everyone knows these people are about somewhere but your never quite sure who they are and they seem to keep it to themselves
