Evening all,
Stuck of where to post this, Dan feel free to move if necessary.
Anyway, here is the question, but the story first.
So, last night i was playing local league, during end five of my first match i chased a slow spinny ball to my backhand, stepped round it.....and promptly noticed the brick wall coming towards me (my own fault - totally out of position). So i put my hand out to stop myself hitting it and crunch, turned the flat of my hand and mashed the lower bones (pisiform and trapezium) in the hand just above the wrist. Won the match, played the next two and won those too. Woke up this morning in dire agony, off to A&E after i got to work and discover ive fractured my hand in 3 places and have 4 shards of small pieces of bones floating around the x-ray.
So that's the story of where im upto tonight, anyway tomorrow im back at the fracture clinic for a cast. ive got a temporary surgical splint at the moment.
Now i reckon i can still play (ive got 75% of the teams points this season and i cant let them down) the rest of the season (8 matches local and 1 more elsewhere), however, how to i serve with a cast on my hand?? Obviously i will foul the open palm rule due to the cast, so what can i do?????
Is there a rule that someone with a disability can serve by a alternative method?
Thanks
Steve
