Team Keane should be entirely eligible for the Temple if they are an Oxford University college composite - they don't have any full blues right?

TC Griffin '13 and 18 - same deal as elizabethan, all legit old boys

You can only have 2 colleges as a composite and i think they have more than 2 colleges.

Ah okay. Still proves the point that they are massively ineligible for the Thames however.
The Team Keane entry is the most questionable out of the three IMHO. Taurus are an alumni 4+ with one person who isn't (but I suppose that could've been easily changed) and Elizabethan appear full of US Uni guys but again, they are alumni. Cue argument over what constitutes a standard sufficient for club events...
If Team Keane have Berwick- Cooley on board then surely they will be in the Ladies as he has a medal at the U23s last year which is against the rules for the Thames?

Heard talk of a London 4+ of students also.
