Perhaps but this latest event is totally over the top, they went too far.


when they were u13 u15 they couldn't have done what they did last weekend. at least half of their team would have been required to play u15. the holdbacks, reclassers just got and extra year at u15 prior to the change to grade.

imo grade based not that big a deal if it's just a few per team that are summer birthdays. of course someone will push the envelope in order win. anyone who watched the crabs-91 game that has an average sized, age appropriate 2020 is wondering if they need to reclass to 2021 for their to compete at the highest levels. Hopefully most would resist the insanity but sadly this will only feed the beast - here in MD and elsewhere. Directors of leading clubs like Crabs and others should consider what's best for the game not just what's best for their club.
