So here's the situation. If you squint hard and look at the team sheet sideways we can just about put 15 players on the field. Not ideal but, with maximum game time and no injuries allowed, we have a side. However, Basingstoke's freefall to obscurity continues and they have confirmed this evening that they cannot raise a side.
We could look for another opposition but at this stage it's likely the game would need to be on Saturday not Friday, and I have no idea if that would mean we would have a side, and at the last count our 2XV are looking for players... So the Masters game this weekend is off, and I would like to suggest all Masters able to play om Saturday put themselves forward for the 2XV game at Southampton.
Please can you all make an extra effort to get a strong squad out next month against more reliable and fun opponents, Reading Saxons. Thanks.
