OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT

Today the Falkirk Cannons submitted an official complaint to Global VX following last weekends VX World Championships where we the committee feel there are a number of concerns that need to be addressed by the governing body and organising committee. The Falkirk Cannons committee called an EGM on the 17th of August to discuss the issues that were reported and witnessed by our team officials, participants and their parents during the event. We the committee would like to make all involved aware that we take the concerns raised over at the weekend extremely seriously. As we have submitted a formal complaint to the governing body and organising committee we will update all concerned once we have given them the right to respond to the concerns raised. We the committee will comment further once a response is received.

Channel 4’s Transworld Sport were in Scotland filming The Cannons as we trained in February.  We are delighted this filming made the show that aired today at 7am today.

Trans World Sport is a Sports-related television programme produced by IMG Media in London and shown worldwide on a variety of television channels.

It is world’s longest running weekly international television sports programme and has been in continuous production every week since 5 May 1987.

Today, it is shown over 50 countries with a household reach of nearly 200 million. For over 25 years, they have endeavoured to bring not only the top names and events, but also the off-beat and esoteric stories from the world of sport.

They covered both our V2 squads and the V5 Senior and Youth squad training as well as taking some action footage at The Helix and The Falkirk Wheel. There were interviews with our two world champions Scott McMichael and Meghan Plummer as well as Head coach Gordon Archibald. Falkirk Cannons are the first UK club to get international TV coverage.

The link to see us on 4OD is as follows:

We’ll be posting to Twitter and the Facebook page as soon as the footage is available

What is VX?

Perhaps the best way to learn about VX is to come long to one of our training sessions, the times and venues for which can be see here

Our sport is fast paced, fun, technical and tactical. It actively promotes good sportsmanship, FairPlay and equality. It can be played by all abilities and is one of the few sports where both genders compete on a par with each other. Dexterity and finesse are as important as strength, stamina and speed. It’s no coincidence that one of the best players in the world is a young lady player from Cannons who beat 11 young men to the world title in 2012.
