The following temporary rule change will take effect from the games played on the 8th June 2021 and will remain until the end of the season.
Should a team be players short the opposing Captain can select up to two players from the team who are short who have played in the first four to play again in the last four. Should one or both of the selected players refuse to play again the selecting team will be awarded the game(s) 21 -0. However should there be extenuating circumstances as to why the players cannot play further player (s) can be selected. ( Extenuating circumstances would only include the following – Illness, player having left the venue or would have to leave earlier than the anticipated finish time of the game.) It is hoped that common sense will be used should this rule have to be implemented.
This rule will appear on the next A.G.M. Agenda to either confirm its permanence or otherwise.
