Somerset Trojans Win PDL Christmas Champs
Today [Jan 1] at the Somerset Cricket Club, Somerset Trojans won the inaugural Premier Development League [PDL] Championship, after beating Devonshire Colts 3-1. Devonshire Colts found themselves playing with only nine men for the entire game, as they only had six players under the age of 23 in their squad for the day, and the rules only allowed for 3 players over 23 on the field at one time.
Below Premier Paula Cox and Minister Michael Weeks present the trophy to Somerset Captain Trevin Ming:
Jonathan Bean gave the Somerset Trojans the lead in the 15th minute, when he beat the offside trap and lobbed the ball over an advancing Terry Foote in goal for the Devonshire Colts. Bean doubled the Somerset Trojans lead in the 47th minute with a shot from inside the box. Tahj Wade made it 3 – 0 to the Somerset Trojans in the 79th minute, but Lozendro Symonds pulled a goal back for the Devonshire Colts from the penalty spot in the 81st minute.
PDL is b#llshit..how you gonna put a team out there in the final with 9 men? They should have saved running up and down for 90 mins.
