an injury suffered to one of my players at the weekend (broken leg).
How is the lad? Feel sorry for him but he (and the rest of us) will better understand the importance of shin pads now. Nothing worse than an injury ruling you out of a tournament, been there.

He spent Saturday night in hospital and is in a full leg cast for the next 6 or so weeks. Just one of those things that happens in Football, both players challenged for the ball (fairly I must add) and bang broken leg.
His Dad did say that the Drs think it still would have broken even if he was wearing shin pads, based on the height of the break but still a good lesson for everybody.
Poor fella, sure looked bad judging by the pain he was in. Yeah have to agree, the way they hit each other was probably more significant than the shinnies but it just makes you wonder. Anyway, send him our best for a speedy recovery and return to the playing field. Good luck for your recruitment.
Cheers will do.
Thanks for the game it was a good workout for both sides.
Good luck up in Napier as well.
