Unfortunately Rick, I believe I gave Port plenty of opportunity to give me an alternative date, but to no avail. They were not ever interested in rescheduling this game. That is shown by their actions to appeal the Board of Managements decision to allow us to defer this game. I believe that they would be happy to take a forfeit, with no regard for the Corrimal Club. Having said that the Board of Management has taken it out of the club's hands by ordering it be played tonight or June 30. Let's wait and see what the appeal brings.
