I just don’t get these playing up references. In any other league in the country it probably makes sense to have kids play up to face harder competition but that’s not the case in HOCO. Perhaps those players could’ve helped NL not get boat raced by ML? These claims just strike me as BS.

I think that these kids playing up had more to do with the fact that the NL 2030 team barely had enough kids to field a team until the BLC takeover. The club didn’t want them to move back down when numbers were so thin but was happy to give them the boot when the BLC squad rolled through
