Have you heard about the Local President who, having bought himself a Coach and a team, and having done pretty damn well out of it, is now lobbying like crazy to have the finals switched from a Sunday to a Saturday?
Turns out seven of his very expensive side are devout Mormons, and refuse to play on Sundays!
belivers get what they deserve...

We had a Kiwi Rugby fella wanted to play for our Mungo team in Dampier many years ago. Introduced himself as "Elder Martin". After a couple of training sessions with the coach and everyone else calling him "Elder". "Nice move Elder." "Not coming to the pub after training, Elder?", the cruncher was " See you Sunday, Elder. Kick off is 3 o"clock at the back beach oval"
"Sorry, my religion doesn't allow me to play Sundays. BTW my name is Martin. I'm an "Elder" in the Church."
To the Preso that bought the team. What goes around comes around.:P
this also happened at a country carnival back in the 90s with Bridgetown having a few Mormans on there side they did well on the saturday and diddnt have enough players on the sunday. Shame really
Rugby IS the game played in heaven
Michael Jones, the legendary All Blacks #7, also refused to play on a Sunday.
wouldnt do much for bar takings either:DQuote:

What's wrong with Saturdays anyway... I always thought it was a pretty good day. :)
Better the day, better the deed.
That's what I was told while being dragged out of bed in the rain and cold on a Sunday morning to work in the cattle yards.
Mormons can;t play on Sundays, Jewish can't play on Saturday - if you want my opinion, Monday should be the sabbath for everyone - it's not like anyone actually works on a Monday...
never a truer word has been spoken Coach
