Andy Coe is quickly building up a reputation as the\nplayer to fear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so much so that his opponent decided not to turn up\nand Culcheth registered the first point of the match by \u201cdefault\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a more serious note \u201cdefaults\u201d are becoming too common\nin the Warrington league, it is a shame especially when players (like Andy)\ntravel in atrocious conditions to away venues only to find they have no game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andy has turned out in all four B team matches this\nyear and has a 100% record. Two wins, and two defaults. Hopefully this is not a\ncommon theme for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
