12th December - Blunsdon Game

Game cancelled due to a lack of players.

This is the 2nd game we have called off and we have played one game with 11 players.

Whilst it does call into question the viability of our age group continuing I do think we have been really unlucky in the first half of the season, if I look at the reasons how we got into this position for Sunday:

- Ryan / Alex - withdrew due to illness

- Avi - playing for Wiltshire Badminton team

- Josh Reynolds / Brad - recovering from injuries

- Chris / Guy / James - away for the weekend.

Having run this team for 7 years and previously an adult team for 4 years these circumstances are exceptional.

I would expect 2/3 people being n/a but any squad having 8 players missing would struggle.

I'm hoping that after Christmas when the boys are fit again we won't have to face this situation again.

We are due to be playing against Croft next week, could you please let me know if any of the boys are not available (home @ Hoopers - meet at 13.15 for 14.00 kick off).

After Christmas I will send you the fixtures for the remainder of the season, once the boys are fit I can go back to planning squads in advance.

 

All of our fixtures are on line at:

http://full-time.thefa.com, go to the North Wilts league and then Under 15's, Divison 3.

 

 

Thanks
