Nobby Clark Consolation 1/4 Finals

[SirKT]

Both the Old House and the Windmill were left out of the consolation draw by mistake, so the 2 teams (Swan A & Ball Tree) who had walkovers in the 1/4 Finals, have been put back in the hat with the other two, to play extra matches.

These matches are to be played on Thursday 19th August

WINDMILL  v  CASK CLUB (Ball Tree)  @ the Duke of Wellington.

OLD HOUSE AT HOME  v  SWAN `A`  @  the New Sussex Hotel.


The Semis of both competitions have been drawn and I will publish them after the two matches have been played.

I am confused. The Cask Club/ Ball tree lost to the Old house at home in the 1st round! How are the Old House in the plate?

[SirKT]

That`s why we voted for a change in the competition rules at the AGM.
As the rule stood, you could win your first match in a cup but still go in the consolation comp. if you lost your next one.
Daft i know, that`s why it had to change.
The two teams that were omitted was down to me, the Swan A did the same as the Old House also.

well thats just stupid if u ask me they should both leave the comp as if they cant win there next they shouldnt get a free ride to the plate. the lost there next so there out

[enzo]

That is stupid, as it gives the 'plate' teams no chance.

Team A plays and beats Team B, Team B go into the plate. Team A get knocked out next round and return to the plate and theoretically could then play Team B again and beat them.. again. If that happened to be the final I'd be cheesed off.

[SirKT]

I repeat what I said earlier, that is why we have changed the rule for future team competitions, namely the Chairmans cup & plate and next years` Nobby Clark comps.
We have to stick to the old rule for this summer  ::)

Alternatively those that got through on the old confusing rule could be gentlemanly and withdraw.

Steady on Tony, what you're advocating there is a return to old standards of sportsmanship!          ;)
