Swashbucklers

The home of the Swashbucklers, Slayers of GraceWe're a 6 a side football team from Chesterfield, currently playing Monday nights. Swashbuckler (a.k.a. swasher) is a term that emerged in the 16th century and has been used as a term for pirates and swordsmen ever since. A possible explanation for this term is that it derives from a fighting style using a side-sword with a buckler in the off-hand, which was applied with much "swashing and making a noise on the buckler". Swashbuckling - adj. engaging in or full of daring and romantic adventures Matthew Francis-Sutton: 'Fucking exellent tonight guys! Top class! Let's keep pudding!' Chris Astill: 'I wish we could see a slow motion replay of tom getting smashed in head with the ball' Rhys Jones: 'i can offer deep heat?' Daniel Fawbert: 'I'm playing, it's going to be fucking anal amazing!'
