To be battling out for a finals spot this week is a massive effort considering how often our team has changed and how significant the changes have been from week to week, our coach has done a bang up job of putting a decent side out week to week.. even dealing with Vice Captains who decide to nip off to Europe for 6 weeks mid season (yours truely)..

Yeah mate. I'll be making my radio debut (except for that one time I rang up Rosie Beaton).

The word pathetic comes to mind.. tell me how that is fair? Instead of these blokes getting a proper run against a decent side who will make finals no matter what, they have to play C4 against a genuine battling C grade side... We have a solid side selected either way, but heaven forbid they get stronger, no lets impose sanctions and force these blokes to have a run around in the lowest grade in the div instead.. BRILLIANT!

Oh well, good for you Houghton and Henley and whoever else broke out the violin and expressed their concern with 3 fringe B graders playing against an A grade side on Saturday.. You truely showed your worth, i look forward to you having a finals campaign against genuine A grade sides and with some luck you will go out in straight sets and you can have another year of bullying C grade sides while waiting for your chance to say how hard done by you are when you are involved in a game where a few decent players come down to have a run in their C grade..

I queried John earlier in the year about the Kilburn bye and was told all clubs in D3 would be reminded not to exploit it, so you probably aren't alone in getting a reminder.
