As we come in to the heart of the KPL games we want to make sure everyone understands the subbing rule and the strategy we will use to meet it. The KPL rule is you can sub up to 7 players a half and the same player can only go in 1 time per half.
Which means if some one is subbed out in the 1st 10 minutes of the 1st half they are not allowed back into the game until the 2nd half. So how we plan to meet this is since halves are 40 minutes we will start subbing close to the 20 minute mark. But we will keep 1 player per half out for nearly the whole half maybe put her in around 35 minutes. The reason for this is to avoid getting in trouble with an injury and having to play with 10 players. This happened in the NKSA game, both us and the NKSA team put all our subs half way through the 2nd half and they unfortunately for them had an injury and could not sub so played with 10 players. We scored within 2 minutes after the injury. I definitely prefer the show case freedom to sub as often as you like. It is very important that we do well in KPL in order to have a bid to get into MRL next year. So we need to do what we can to protect that.
This is going to be an extremely tough weekend with 3 games in a row most likely with teams on Saturday and Sunday that are rested, so girls please make sure you eat well the evening meal before (Friday eat larger meal after the game) and get lots of sleep.
