I don't know many 17-year-olds who would think playing with guys 40+ would be fun.On the thirds. Time to get rid of wjfl u16? Only have one div u14? O& k 3rds u17. Players turning 18 in2014 old enough for 1 and 2s.
Another option ! Mixed thirds of u17 and over 40. Maybe 22 per team , max 11 over 40? Need an extra interchange!
Played and umpired in good spirit. Ie no d@@@ h@@@@.
Maybe k.v greta ,g'rowan bright,who roily etc could all put up teams. Few d ads and sons?
Just a thought
