Player availablity for rounds 3 & 4?

Post by John Upham » Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:46 pm

AMCA are struggling to get almost any junior players out for the rounds 3 & 4 with the almost universal problem of examinations and re-takes of examinations.

We are trying our best to complete our four teams nonetheless.

We have vacancies for five more players in our squad : contact [email protected] if you are interested.

Is this juniors for senior 4ncl or junior 4ncl? Also, what age is junior?

A 4NCL junior is up to sixteen years of age.

You do actually know that you are holding up the entire 4NCL draw with this Rubbish

I've not asked for the draw to be held up : what leads you to jump to that conclusion?

Someone is struggling to field a side and therefore the draw is being held until the answer to this teams participation is known.

So yes as I said your holding up the draw.

However, I did not ask for the draw to be held up. Someone made the decision to do that and told me.

But was the decision made on account of your difficulties?
