At a meeting on Tuesday last week, it was decided Section 3 would play primarily Friday evenings, with four player teams of any gender – a change from the six-layer team concept of three female and three male players.
“If it gets to say 40 degrees and players agree to play Saturday morning instead of the Friday evening they can – it’s to be a flexible arrangement,” Mr Filliponi explained.
Sections 1 and 2 will play Saturday afternoon, teams consisting of four players, mixed gender but must include one female player.
