Well frontfoot, you have been miss informed, if any or all the cricketers want to go footy training they can, they will and they do, however, i wouldnt like them to play in a pre-season DIV 6 BLOCKBUSTER trial game while we were still playing GRADE 1 cricket.... especially if we were in finals contention, and also when did DIV 6 !!! parklands football become so serious....
So the meetings between the 2 committees to sort things out went well then? Gee you Central United blokes are a precious mob, thanks for the capitals to emphasize Grade 1 now I'll give u one WHO GIVES A ****? It's hard wicket suburban cricket mate it's social not like your playing for the ashes. Also where did I say Div 6 parklands football is serious? Point is blokes should be allowed to do whatever they want for goodness sake because they play both for fun, not like they're getting paid big bucks for it....oops this is CU so maybe they are, my bad

what meeting ?? did i miss it ?? the players can do what they like mate, the cricket is social,as is the football, but if the same group of guys put their time and effort into any sport, tues, thurs and all day saturdays for 6 or 7 months of the year , i dont think its enrealistic to expect those players to finish the season without risking injury in a div 6 trial match, its about respect for your other team mates and if you cant see that , well , clearly , you are a complete knob that should play golf or tennis, and i cant see any disruption that you perceve, its only social sports...
