Hi all
Those who played last season will recall that the derby game is played at 1pm for several reasons. The first is, it's winter and it gets quite cold and dark after 5pm so it's better socially to finish at 2.45 and have a beer and a snag after it.
The second is because the juniors wrap up around midday which means Shane and I can hang around after that for not too long without worrying that some local knob is going to come steal the nets in the three hour window if we leave the ground set up. No, we don't fancy sitting around waiting.
Unfortunately, while I always knew in my mind that we would play all derby games including this one at 1pm, I didn't actually spell this out before now. Because it seems some players have other commitments ruling them out of an early start we will, for the sake of club harmony, stick with the intended 3pm kickoff time, for this derby only. We are within our rights to change the game time on the IAFA draw - they are okay with an early start, or a later start for that matter.
So, in a nutshell, this week's game will kick off as planned at 3pm. The July 3 match will be at 1pm. And, if we are in the same position next season (if the whites somehow manage to blow promotion) we will play at 1pm as well.
Hope that clarifies.
Cheers
