HWRCC 1s are out of the Fullers League Cup following a catastrophic admin error by shamefaced Hon Sec Nick Clark.
Clark failed to secure the registration of overseas player Nomaan Ali before the League Cup began resulting in the team's disqualification under the competition rules.
Before Clark's error was discovered the team had progressed through two rounds of the cup emphatically dispatching Wallington and Old Paulines with overseas player Ali contributing runs in both games.
Known to drop the odd ball before, but usually while 'keeping for various sides in the club, when Wickman finally tracked him down, Clark was embarrassed and repentant.
"This is without doubt the cruellest way to exit the cup. To be disqualified due to an omission by someone not even in the squad must be extremely galling for the 1s. I have apologised to the guys personally who played those games and for robbing them of the chance of reaching the latter stages."
Wickman understands that the club's quicks are lining up to give Clark a testing examination in the Wick's spicy nets. Rumours that Clark's helmet and thigh pad are missing may be connected.
