Previous match commentary:
24/10/2013: Watsonians B v Redcraig.
Redcraig were at an immediate disadvantage with being one man down in this match, but showed good sportsmanship by attending rather than cancelling at the last minute. The high scorer being Mrs Dove dropping only 6 points. However Redcraig although disadvantaged still took 1 of the matchplay points.
However Watsonians have taken this match with a large difference in score.
Revised result:
In this match with Watsonians and Redcraig on 24/10/13, both teams were a man down, Mrs Dove who has worked hard at getting two teams into the league, decided to make up her clubs team into a team of 4 and shot the match.
She has realised that she is registered with the A team and has noticed that according to the rules she is prohibited from shooting in the B Team and that her average is higher than the one she substituted.
On noticing the breach of rules she immediately contacted the shoulder to shoulder secretary informing him of this and has requested that her score in this match be removed with the scores to be adjusted accordingly.
This is commendable sportsmanship, on realising the error and having it repaired at her own request.
The match scores have been changed to show the amended score and result. Which is a draw, under the circumstances a very good result.
