Kicking screen.

When doing conversion kicks, penalties or drop goals, unless one has an assistant to hold a cloth behind the uprights, the ball invariably gets temporarily lost. The Subbuteo rugby ball is quite small, so I have made a simple screen to allow play to continue without the search the ball scenario!

It is a panel of 6mm MDF with a 2x1 batten screwed on the bottom and a piece of 10mm thick black foam 430mm x 340mm double sided taped to the board.

I have used this screen to good effect many times and have not had to go searching for the ball once, therefore meaning no more hold ups for the match.
