However at the bottom of the page it says: Southern Districts lost score for 19 players on field.
Southern were 9 pts up with three minutes to go and because they had 19 players on the field, their score was taken away from them and they kicked 2 points in those last three minutes, hence their score of 0-2
Speaking to a trainer who was at the game he said that it happened straight after half time. At the first bounce one of the southern players realised that there were too many on the ground and ran for the interchange. Western saw him and called for the count. Player was off the ground when the count was called, but went back on when asked by the umpires and was included. Western were awarded a free kick in the goalsquare and Southern had their score zeroed (from 5-1), but the scoreboard wasn't corrected until after the game.
I got there just after that happened and got the same story. When there is no interference like that I think its poor form and against the spirit of the carnival. What do others out there think?
PS Thats if I got the real story .If it was well into it - different.
all said and done you are only allowed to have 18 players on the ground
