Had 12 players for reserve grade with 1 player going off hurt after 15 minutes, 3 more players injured themselves during the game but continued to play on. It was still a pretty valiant effort by the boys to stay in the game with a player running on 1 leg and the first grade GK up front.
First grade had 3 fresh players, one who should not have played and 7 players who played reserve grade backing straight up, so yes only 10 players for first grade, the 5 ressies who could not play either were hurt or had to leave for work.
We have only had a full strength team once this season (win against Mayfield), it is going to be a tough year however because of the lack of depth, hopefully we can stay injury free for a while.
