Adam, you're missing my point. Catch 22 decided to pull out of Tour 2 because
none of their opposition would come and play them on the pitch they had found.
As was pointed out after this weekends 'nanny state' argument, Catch's
opposition at Towcester could have made the same decision (i.e. not play them)
if they had only had 3 players. The difference is, what actually happened has
been deemed as more acceptable. Catch 22 can still make the top 8 at Nationals
if they play well enough at Leeds. Don't change the boundaries now, this isn't
the FA cup!

PS Jaimie, not 'Jamie'. I can spell my own name.
