It comes down to this: Hero's wanted to play past 3:55pm in order to get the first half in and declare a win. However, Hero's did not want to play full game. LBC coach said if you are going to break the rules and play past 3:55pm then play the full game. LBC Coach was not going to play past 3:55pm to just hand Hero's the win. now they're mad. If you read below, why would the coach agree to play past 3:55pm just to get the first half in. Hero's, the great power of club lacrosse, trying to steal a cheap win and unfortunately for them the LBC coach new the rules and their 5 coaches on the sideline didn't seem to... Hero's is the better team most of the time, why try and steal one.
Here are the rules from NGLL website:
All games will be postponed during lightning and/or thunder. Games will resume 30 minutes after the last sight of lightning and/or crack of thunder is heard, but they will end 55 minutes after the original scheduled start time. • A game score will stand at the point it was delayed if at least one complete half has been played.
Facts is the Girls and refs were on the field and ready to play at 3:46 (per the ref I spoke to after the game) they only had 6 minutes left so there was ample time to play. And the fact the game on the other field was played to completion means they should have played. I am not sure what the LBC plan is, but taking the field and not playing should be a forfeit. There goes your playoff for unsportsman-like cheating (conduct)
