that is a bummer, hope they can get the numbers for the year.
We hope so too, Andre Kulpe set to play his 400th game friday week under lights v Trinity at Hope Valley. Was the travel distance (Gawler to Plympton) a factor for Trinity?
We have about 12 A graders out at the moment plus probably 10 B Graders. Taking its toll on the C grade who haven't really had a stable core group of players that they can rely on every week anyway. This coupled with the travel factor (which is a p*** weak excuse) resulted in the forfeit. I know there is a minimum of 7 players back next week and a few each week for the month or so after that. Hopefully all 3 grades can be strengthened for the rest of the season.
It's crap for the boys that did travel all that way only for their mates not to rock up and for the Plympton boys who were denied a game and probably more % than what they were given for the forfeit.
Feel sorry for the boys that made the effort to come all the way to Plympton only to have to go all the way back, would have used about $20 worth of petrol on the trip!
Plympton has been in the same boat as has many other clubs at some stage or another so we understand that due to circumstances it happens, and its not the people that have turned up's fault.
The only request I have is that you could next time flag it with the opposition a bit earlier that you MAY be struggling to field a team, instead of 5 minutes before hand. A heads up with 20 minutes prior would have saved half of us getting strapped up because we would have waited. that stuff isnt cheap and its very painful to take off again straight away while its still sticky! I ended up leaving my knee strapped till Sunday morning!
