Cricket Albury/wodonga
- Thread starter RUNOUT
- Start date
I'm led to believe that they have 'allegedly' played an ineligible player on the weekend, and the game has been given to Tallangatta.

Looks like one of their players had not played enough games during the season to qualify for the finals. Considering they went into the game with 12 players, a pretty stupid and costly mistake, and it's not as though the guy was another Brett Page!!!

From what I understand stoke_em you are correct. That is what Lavington's 3rd Grade Div 2 side were told at training on Tuesday night.
Yep, and if you read the whole article you would have seen the bit where he said he was staying on as a player.

Im lead to believe that it didnt matter if they forfeited or not as it appears that a few players that played were not even registered at the club and they also played up to 4 players who didnt qualify for finals throughout thier finals campaign.
Could you elaborate more RUMPIG on how to eliminate the bye in District!!!!!

Given that District A and B grades both have uneven teams, would it be possible for one team drop down or one team to go up. It wouldn't be the first time two teams from one club have played in the same division.....not too sure whether players like byes in two day cricket.
RumPig know the facts before shooting your mouth off, the Barnawartha Chiltern Cricket Club is in great shape and a lot of people (past and current) have put in some hard work for this to happen...
They haven't played on synthetic for 2 seasons at an added cost to the club and have a turf wicket in ready to go for next season.
The ground is in excellent condition and the facilities are getting a $1 Million plus upgrade in the next 12 - 24 months.
The Barnawartha Cricket Ground will be one of the finest cricket grounds in the competition in years to come and you may freely quote me on that.
Their A grade side averaged 5/6 players a week under 20, the B grade side reguarly had 7 players 16 or under playing each week and have some very good junior players in their ranks. Most clubs would love to be in that position. On top of that they have more than 6 past recent junior players currently playing at Provincial clubs and were without the services of the likes of Mark Doolan and Chris Dishot this season.
All sounds pretty positive from where I sit, a lot of hard work still ahead but the momentum is heading strongly in the right direction.
As for the C grade situation again get all the facts before giving an uneducated opinion.. This isn't a club issue or a CAW issue it is a TDFL issue, which steps have already been taken so this does not happen again. Spare a thought for the 11 guys who could not play in what we all play or played sports for and which some may never have the chance to play in one again and for some maybe their only chance... a GRAND FINAL...
And on a personal note... If you want to make such comments don't hide behind a user name, be man enough to disclose who you are.. But I am sure you want do that and we will all have our opinions why...

While I do not have the knowledge about what is happening at Barnawartha Chiltern Chiltern Cricket club to be able to agree with everything that RumPig has written, I certainly agree that they have show disrespect to those they have played against and the association. They must have known for some time that there would be a clash between the CAW grand finals and TDFL's Round 1 games and to make the decision to play in Round 1 of the Footy instead of playing in a cricket grand final does show disrespect to those they played against those they played against and CAW. You can not blame the TDFL for this happening , the players not the TDFL would have had to make the final decision to either forfeit Round 1 of the footy or the cricket Grand Final, obviously they have decided that the footy is more important, so they are showing disrespect for the sport of cricket.
Future thank you for your input and yes the club knew before the finals that a clash was likely but the facts are we didn't leave it until the finals to raise this issue with the appropriate people and at no time was there any disrepect towards anyone shown. The players involved are footballers and they had no idea (nor did anyone involved in cricket) at the time of committing to playing the cricket season that a conflict would arise.
A number of these players are paid footballers including the Coach, Assistant Coach and Captain, our cricket club unlike most don't pay any of our players to play cricket and all our players pay subs. The players at our club play because they want to play for the Barnawartha Chiltern Cricket Club.
As disappointing as it is for the club with what has occured these guys are paid footballers and have no influence on the TDFL draw. These guys should not have had to make this decision the football should not have started until next week like all other leagues.. This is the last time I will respond to any feedback on the C grade team, the club has for a number of weeks tried all they could to come up with a solution but unfortnately it wasn't to be. This was not an easy decision on the c grade team or the club.
Did'nt take me long to find out who you are Rumpig (Bryan Buchanan, Howlong Cricket Club) let's see how long it takes you to find out which team mate informed me.
Maybe you should worry more about yourself and less about the Barnawartha Chiltern Cricket Club

The forum is yours to own now, Sir Don. Congratulations and be gentle with them.
Congratulations to Wodonga. And great to see young Beattie (and not Jackson) made all the runs. Well done Bulldogs. Lavi won B grade aftera fairly spiteful encounter against North Albury and I believe St Pats reclaimed the 3rd grade crown in Div 1, while Bushies won the Div 2 one day comp.
Who won in District this year?

Congratulations To all Grand Finals teams and winners - especially Mt Beauty and Yack for a thrilling game a gutsy win for the Power, great entertainment. Good to catch up with some friends from other teams and good to see a lot of people getting out to various grounds on a perfect weekend for cricket. It certainly looked like a lot of effort was put into wickets and grounds to make the granny's a spectacle - curators can be proud of the efforts put in. Interesting conversations had about various topics throughout the season - a lot of great ideas floating around and hopefully coming to fruition before next season. Not all doom and gloom out there, a positive end to an eventful season. Look forward to renewing old acquaintances next season

While I haven't seen the results from the C Grade Div 3 Grand Final, it appears that there was no dominant club, with no club managing more than 1 premiership.
I think Mt Beauty won that, if so then they've won 2 flags and congrats to them - a deserved result for a solid year.
Thanks Reverse Sweeper. I was going to tee off on a few people but I don't think there's any need. I'm sure there's a few people eating their words at the moment.
This finals series has certainly proved that we aren't a one man band and it was great to see Dylan Beattie come of age on Saturday.
Also have to give credit to Luke Restall for his effort on Sunday. That was one of the best innings I've ever seen and proved what a class player he is.
Enjoy the off season everyone. Look forward to doing it all again next year.

I just had to go back and quote some of this tripe. For a team that sat around 3rd on the ladder all season it's disgraceful, glad you're eating your words. Congrats to them, what a performance. To beat Lavi and then St Pats was great team cricket and nowhere near a one-man-team. The local media is eating their words now as well. Well done to Beattie and also Luke Restall. 2 amazing innings'. 2 flags in 3 years, great effort Wodonga
