It's to protect crickets ownership of the October to the end of March slot on the calendar..
Turf Cricket is costly and always under pressure from local government so you can understand Cricket Victoria and subbies digging their heals in..
Nice wrap, as far as McKinnon is concerned Ed Young doesn't return but Dias, Madasanka & Kruger all stay. The core group of the side have all had a couple of senior div seasons now so hopefully improvement from within!
After a scroll through the fixtures and rules I'm going with ROY G BIV and am happy the VTCA have tried to address some key issues so fairplay..
Great to see oneday cricket finally getting updated, just need fielding restrictions and it's perfect.
Senior Div is the best 6 teams from north and...
Under the new promotion/relegation rules these would have been the teams (other than the bottom placed team) since 2010
14/15 McKinnon 9th
13/14 Keilor 11th
12/13 McKinnon 11th
11/12 South Caulfield 9th
10/11 McKinnon 9th
09/10 McKinnon 6th*
*only two south teams in division
18 team south & north/west seconds is locked in.
Fixture to be weighted so stronger & senior div clubs play each other
Two "Premierships" will be on offer.
1st to 4th on the ladder will play for the SENIOR SOUTH or NORTH/WEST premiership
5th to 8th will play for the SOUTH or NORTH/WEST...
4 or 2 day grand final not the issue here.. Just finding a way to keep an 18 team comp relevant for more than just a handful of sides by December. A top 8 would achieve this but we only have 3 weekends to play finals so the 4 day final would have to make way just for the 18 team grade.
It's our 2s and 3s, our 4s will be south c1. Would be better if the snr seconds comp was split into a 10 and 8 team grade in both the north and south.. Would be impossible to play everyone and if the top 4 remained you could have your season finished by November!
Well the gradings the VTCA has put out has kingston-hawthorn in south div but parkdale untied and middle parks 1sts go to south seconds which is a division of 18 teams including two McKinnon teams... Interesting.
Not many clubs south of moorabbin that are fielding or could field four sub district standard Saturday turf teams.
Probably only Beaumaris. Mordi only have one turf ground.
South Caulfield also only have 3 Saturday senior teams, Beaumaris & McKinnon have four Saturday teams, equally good facility's and even stronger junior set ups... Would have a case, especially Beauy with no subbies clubs around them..
There's probably enough talent out there but it's playing 80 over days, minimal if any Sundays, less training and often getting paid for their trouble!
