Short Turnaround
The tape, the boots and the beer.
Due to Easter, it’s one of those weeks where a clubs depth gets tested with a short turnaround between games. Instead of the usual Saturday games, matches around Otago will mostly be played on Thursday but then there are a few games being played at alternative times over the long weekend or later in the season. There are some clubs that are already struggling for numbers so lets hope they stay injury free over this period.
