St Albans Centurions are disappointed to advise that their East RL Cup semi final vs Hemel Stags will not go ahead as Cents are unable to raise a full complement of players, the Stags advancing to the Final.
Realising early in the week that player's Bank Holiday commitments left them short handed, Cents, keen to be up front, advised the RFL and Hemel and offered alternatives. It is not unheard of for Cents and Hemel to play midweek games due to their proximity, given that the final is 24th June, some weeks away, but Hemel declined this as an option, which is their prerogative. Speaking about the situation, Head Coach Sam Wingad couldn't hide his frustration 'I think in this instance we have been too honest. I suspect that all clubs would struggle to field a side on a Bank Holiday, but the fact that we were up front with all parties seems to be have come back to haunt us as Hemel declined the options we offered, outright. Given the final is a few weeks ago, there are several mid week opportunities, but as I say, Hemel weren't interested.' Comments are closed.
