North Anglia handed 3-0 victory after England South fail to show
England South’s forfeiture meant 13 North Anglia players arrived prepared for an International Series fixture that never took place. Here are 50 more productive ways they could have spent their evening.
North Anglia secured a 3-0 victory by default after England South forfeited their scheduled International Series meeting, leaving their opponents with three points but no football to show for their preparation.
North Anglia had brought a 13 player squad and arrived expecting to continue their campaign on the pitch. Instead, they were spared the inconvenience of fouls, tactics and having to give PADTOPHT charity minutes before being awarded the competition’s standard walkover result.
The outcome may not prove in the standings, particularly because results in other groups mean the 3rd place qualifying spot will fall in group B and North Anglia are now through. However, it also left an entire squad wondering why they had given up their evening.
With that in mind, here are 50 things North Anglia’s squad could have done instead.
