I can see why they would do this. Not so much that they played yesterday - I would expect most players to be able to manage 2 games in 2 days - but this shambolic playoff system this year that means they have a further playoff against the Bostik play off winners on Saturday.
I know that fatigued muscles are far more susceptible to pulls and strains, so there is a much higher likelihood of their players getting some sort of muscle strain should they play tonight.
So while I wish teams would make a serious effort to win the county cups from the 1st round onwards, I think that in this unusual scenario, I would probably accept it if we were in their shoes.
Totally agree.
From the results they have had in the SSC in the previous rounds it looks like they had a strong line up in each match so took the competition seriously.
