The umpire that booked him gave us two yellow cards and a red, in the space of about ten minutes, to three different players.
SW have been a very dicsipline this year but that particular umpire was hot on any of our players.
He stated to one of our players to go easy on the tackling???
All deserved it tho. Newchurch punched a bloke in the head 3 or 4 times, and other 2 blokes were sent off for elbowing and kneeing. Can say what you want about the umpires mate, players make decisions... and some of your blokes unfortunately still don't have the discipline to make correct decision when things aren't going their way.
Having said that, you beat us convincingly in the 2nd half and are a better side than us... didn't need the undisciplined acts of stupidity. Bet coach is impressed his key forward is missing a final for belting someone from 9th placed team!
