Good on the northcote united boys for beating Rosebank.
They thoroughly deserved the win and good on them for celebrating it hard.

The following line on their website was a bit harsh though on Rosebank considering the wet conditions

'After rain delayed the start and Rosebank CC refusing to take the field in the fear of losing'

i noticed that line has been added to the story on the NUCC page....wonder if its by the same bloke who continually has pot shots at Rosebank for paying large sums of money and then went and did it himself.....good on them but how long will it last....3 blokes are 40 odd, 3 imports who will leave at any sign of more money, ask the VTCA clubs!!!! there is 6 blokes that need replacing....what another youth policy??? 3 or 4 of the better kid they have they pinched from DVCA clubs....plus they wont make the four anyway, they are a flash in an ordinary pan

I bet the great man Ada is behind it. Then again moneybank has given united some almighty spankings in the past. Good luck to the boys at alphington park, it always brings a smile to my face when moneybank get beaten.

Did the Rosebank boys think the ground was unfit for play? Must be the Northern Socials influence creeping in because the true Rosebank boys would have backed themselves to win.

i agree four more they did go running to the tribunal after many problems in the past from from both sides ,but at the same time the player in question did the crime so deserves his wack!
hopefully the 2 sides can put the bullshit behind them and get on with it.

Spoke to a senior umpire and apparently Rosebank were willing to go on only when the strip was in a reasonable condition.

just thought id get on here and clear a few things up 4 u guys commenting on socials v camrea game first of all the ground was like a lake does anyone think we would have played if sat was day 1 conditions of course not the league would have called it of.the umpires didnt even consider the care of duty towards the players the umpires at 1pm said the ground was unsafe to play and also at 2pm and then all of a sudden it was fine at 3pm i dont think so considering we had hailstones and heavy rain between 1pm and 3pm we have no hard feelings towards john he was only doing wot any captain would do in his position.our problem was we wernt going 2 put our players in a position were they could get injured and risk there jobs they have 2 turn up 2 on mondays and there family lives.To finish of the points wernt the reason why we did its was the principle the league and umpires have to take more responsibility towards the players and clubs. if u think relegation bothers us think again we would luv 2 survive in a grade but if we do go down are grade so be it the standard aint much differnt apart from the top few teams if relegation bothered us we wouldnt have put ourselves in the position we did last year and agreed to play on a different ground on 2nd week of our game vs n.united cause there pitch got destroyed we would have just taken the draw and got the 3 pts and that would have saved us the point is its the principle that the ground wasnt fit for play.
