SUNDAY 4TH MARCH 2007 ANGLISS RESERVE 12 NOON
The Footscray ANA Cricket club, formed in 1931-32, will celebrate its 75th anniversary on Sunday 4th March 2007 with a players' reunion. This will be held at Angliss Reserve beginning at 12 noon and ending at 6pm. A barbecue lunch, an open canteen and bar facilities will be available.
The event will also coincide with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Footscray Cricket Association which also began in 1931-32. Former players and officials from all FCA clubs are invited to attend and swap stories with friends and 'foes' alike. People are encouraged to bring along any items of memorabilia. Please pass on this information to others.
The highlight of the day will be a Twenty20 match played between a team of retired ANA players up against a team of retired FCA players. Len Balcam, the former Victorian and Queensland state representative, has said he'll play. The game is scheduled to start at 1pm.
Closing speeches will be held at 5pm. For details please contact Graeme Hodgart on 9311-155 or email him at ghodgart@optusnet.com.au

WDCAcricketer;176079 said:Actually both Laurel and Bucks crossed over to the Sunshine comp in 1996/1997 as the last season of FCA was 1995/1996. The sunshine comp folded after season 1998/1999. The only team to cross over to the Willi comp the following season from the old FCA clubs was ANA. Laurel & Bucks both folded when the SCA Folded. Just confirmed with Laurel honuor boards as its currently in the old FCA rooms.
Yarraville Club crossed over to the VTCA a couple a seasons before the FCA folded.

WDCAcricketer;176162 said:I know there were two divisions of A & B turf the year Sunshine teams crossed over to the willi comp. cant say l remember playing against Laurel
