Low Numbers Pandemic Again Hits 1776 In Late Season

The Morristown 1776 A.F.C. have again encountered their own "swine flu" pandemic that seems to inflict its self upon the club late in every season recently, a lack of players.

Morristown was saying all the right things ahead of their Sunday NJSL League Match vs RD Benders, but only 8 players showed up for the showdown.

Among the missing were Continental regulars, Mike Cheatham, Brady McDonald, Mark Basso, Bedo and Mike Pollock.

This Morristown team, while short of skills seems to always bring a lot of heart to the pitch. But the club can in no way be expected to compete playing 90 minutes without subs and conceding 3 extra players to the opponents.

The past two seasons ('08 MCSSA, Fall NJSL) saw the same problem for Morristown.

"This is all hands on deck. If your on the active roster without a known injury. We expect adequate notice of you not showing up for a match.", said club chairman Ryan Vinton.
