With the matches coming so quickly - two in the space of three days - I'm afraid it means if a player misses the first game, then they probably won't be fit for the second. We'll keep an eye on them, but I think that will be the case.
The other two saw what was going on and grabbed the hostage, the store owner who was the only person in the store at the time, and held him at gunpoint,
We don't have another option, so I guess we'll need to reconsider the future of Early College .
