Going forward, and with effect from the report thread for the game today (Saturday):

• Except where I suggest line ups, selectors will each receive $1 credit after the report thread for the game being put up and the game is completed (that is, they don't have to wait until there is a report of the game).  This also applies to non-playing selectors. 


• The first PRG player from each team to post an account of the game on the report thread will receive $1 credit each.  If any PRG players watch the game without playing in the game, and post an account of the game on the report thread, the first to post a report will also receive a $1 credit.  An account must be genuine to receive a credit.  


• Each captain will receive an additional $1 credit if a player from their team provides an account on the report thread. Unless otherwise stated, selectors are also captains. Captains should encourage their team-mates to do a report, or just do one themselves.

Therefore, the total amount of credit available for selectors/captains remains $4, but $2 will now be given upfront after the game, without waiting for a report.  The total amount of credit available for reports is increased from $2 to $3.  

The ball and gloves credits remains unchanged. 

All of the game credits referred to above will continue to be recorded on the report thread within a week of the game.  

Additionally, in the first 24 hours of the schedule thread for the following week's game being put up, the selectors, captains, and the first PRG player from each team (and the first of any non-playing PRG player) to provide an account before then, will have priority.  

$1 credit to each of Fred and Jye as selectors.

Tim T was a replacement for Yaseen who withdrew late last night, but I overlooked adding Tim T to the group chat, so he didn't know he was in, and didn't turn up.

As posted by Fred on the group chat at 6.12 pm:

No worries we found someone to step in

We scrambled around for a player to replace Tim T at start so started a little late. We found a big guy called Brice from the previous game who played in goal, very good keeper!

The game was tight and locked at 0-0 for at least the first 25/30 mins. Eventually with legs tiring Whites broke the deadlock. The game was back and forth with both teams switching the lead but never more than one goal in it.

The Whites went ahead 4-3 and looked to have won it when last goal was called. With the last attack of the game Reds linked together nicely to get a deserved equaliser for 4-4/

Game will be remembered for Tim.C finally breaking his 3+yr GIFFA duck and scoring (at the right end) a stunning curled goal from halfway line from the kick off after Reds had gone ahead 2-1! It sparked wild celebrations on both sides!

$1 credit to Babs for a first report for Reds. Additional $1 credit to Jye as his team captain.
