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?

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

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?
