Yes I was thinking about this, Westlakes (and I am sure others in the past) have been able to rely on wet weather to call off a game when they didn't have the numbers or missing too many first players (it's happened in NPL as well). Last weekend Hamilton couldn't use that as an excuse and so just forfeited and copped the fine.
