U23 Women Div One game 2/12
In U23 Womens Div One, Eagles Vs South last night I witnessed some really disappointing behaviour..
With less than a minute to go to end of game, and Eagles well ahead on about 96 points there was a nasty, but not deliberate, accident on court, stopping the game and a South player requiring paramedical/ambulance assistance to hospital.
Umpires approached the coaches and asked whether they wanted the game to continue or whether they were happy for coaches to make decision to end game. Re-iterate at that point Eagles had the game well and truely won.
South coach happy to hand game to Eagles given the circumstances, but no, not the Eagales coach...he demanded to continue, wanting his girls to get to 100 points and really put the boot in...
Injured player was gently removed from the court and game continued.
Congratulations to the Eagles coach..demonstrating incredible lack of sportmanship and fair play....shame on you. Hope that does'nt represent your Clubs values. It was hardly a final with the scores tied with a minute to go!!. Poor form.
You got your hundred points + and well done to the South girls who,depleted as they were, fought it out.
