Morphsuit 10 sign up for the 10s

Another team sign up for the 10's.  Morphsuit 10 will be competing for the first time and promise to bring plenty of 'fancy dress fun' to the event.  

Ali Smeaton of Morphsuits comments; ‘This is the inaugural Morphsuits 10 – a group of serious fancy dressers brought together from across the country through their love of the ridiculous... and of course, the oval ball.  A mixture of youth and experience, talent and garbage, international caps and east Lothian trialists who knows what these boys will bring, though whatever it is it will involve looking stupid and a thirst’
