Apparently there were some "technical difficulties" at Elizabeth so C31's Chris Kendall, who happened to be at Prospect, started to call the North/Glenelg game via mobile phone while the RPH people moved themselves and their gear from Elizabeth to Prospect. When they got to Prospect, there were also "technical difficulties" so Chris continued his call of the game. One of the RPH commentators was heard to say that he refused to call a game via phone which meant that Chris did the entire coverage on his own via mobile phone. Chris did a fantastic job on a moment's notice. Calling 120 minutes of footy would not be easy. RPH listeners should be thankful that for at least one game they didn't have to put up with DB and his inane cliches (e.g "sausage roll", "hi diddle diddle" etc). Well done Chris!
