I bet we’ve all played in worse conditions than that.

1977, played at Strand Park. Upper Hutt College V St Bernards. Started off sunny as. I was in goal for UHC. First half, I watched the Southerly Front coming up through the Wellington Heads. Second half kicks off with my back to it, then the Cold Southerly and Hail hit about ten minutes in. Game abandoned after a further 5 mins when it got even worse. The ground was white with hail.
