Due to concerns for player safety due to ground conditions game was cancelled.
New lambton come out lunch time took photos and call head of association to come out and then fight there case to get the forfeit.
End of the day it's Park football and everyone of us have to work on Monday can't do that with broken bones..
Well, after the game was surprisingly called off due to the apparent wet condition of the ground, our First Team coach and President went to inspect. They found that the field was quite dry and entirely playable.
Russell Henry from Newcastle Football also inspected the ground after we had been there.
Photos were taken as evidence of our claim and we made a phone call to Russell stating that we believed the game should have been played and would be making a formal complaint. He initially agreed with our observations, but stated that the issue would go through a formal process and parties would be informed of the decision and any rulings. We received word on Thursday or Friday that the ZPL board had ruled based on all of the information available that Barnsley did not make every effort to enable the match to proceed as required in the regulations. Therefore Barnsley forfeit the round. Quite simple.
No "mates in the association" as Donk so eloquently puts it. We just wanted to play the game on the day. We were left wondering why Barnsley didn't want the game to go ahead.... i guess there were a few things on that weekend.
But guess when you mates like that and are concerned about the results if you can get an easy 3 points for all 3 grades to help with final chances why wouldn't you do it..
