Selwyn v Parklands earlier in season both teams had a number of players do it, in fact both reserve teams had their first team coaches playing due to numbers!
Yet Waimak defaulted at half time against Parklands because 3 or 4 players had to play 1st team, and a couple of these guys didn't even get on!
Now Christchurch Utd are defaulting due to lack of players. Is this not an opportunity for the likes of 16-18 year olds to step up from the club?
If they have any 16-18 year olds at the club then yes.
