Shipwrecks conceded this week's fixture against Burgh Boys, therefore forfeiting a distinctly winnable fixture immediately before poorer weather moved in as often happens in early July.
According to dispatches, only five players were available to enlist on Thursday following an outburst of heatstroke and tropical diseases, although later research suggests that in fact seven could have turned out.
As no general order to 'stand down' was issued, three of the squad actually turned up for the game, only to find themselves crewing the S.S. Marie Celeste against no opposition.
