Yeah it does and that's been in the rule book for years and is perfectly clear! However it's also the reason why I asked because Bewley's case seems to change every time there's a fixture clash!
Cradley expect the appeal to order a re-run of the meeting anyway, and as a consequence are arranging a date. Though if it doesn't they'll still go there for a challenge meeting. Fair play Cradley's promotion.
Regardless of pressure put on Tom, I'm sure he felt nervous and put some pressure on himself. But that's hardly the reason for his injury, it's just because he's enthusiastic, so I think it's unfair to criticise the Dugards.
The thing is you do declare your team before hand and it can't be changed unless there's injury/illness in the side. Though it appears that Eastbourne have made a tactical change, due to Stoke being called off, but they wouldn't be allowed that unless Hunter is unable to ride due to injury/illness etc.
Halder, Dwyer, Walker and Carr are all decent prospects even if they're not going to be world beaters. Davey was needed to add some decent scoring to the side. In reality it's only RTD who's going nowhere and at least this isn't a team of has beens, like a couple of NL sides have am influx of.
