Another season, another disjointed Tasman Tanning Premier consolation finals series.
Utiku Old Boys have defaulted their 6th vs 7th playoff game with Black Bull Liquor Pirates this afternoon at Spriggens Park.
WRFU club liaison officer Paul Kenny said Utiku informed the union that their group of English-born players who joined them for this season departed for home yesterday, and so they could no longer put out a full squad.
Kenny said Pirates were also struggling to put together a team for the post-season games.
This despite both clubs seemingly having enough depth if augmenting with players from their Senior teams, whose seasons are over.
