club looks certain to be in North B next season so not hard to do the math as to who it is, surprised it took this long.

can anyone from this struggling club confirm this as we know there are plenty of them lurking on here from time to time

if true who is taking over ?

good luck to whoever it is with them on a virtual hiding to nothing

You obviously know which club it is, let us all in mate & we might be able to confirm it...

The nwca allegedly have 11 umpires in total.

The nwca have successfully run a hard wicket comp for seniors and juniors for years.

My question is this. What does the mmvca have that could possibly be of benefit to the nwca.

In my opinion the nwca should keep doing what they are good at.

Maybe the mmvca should join the vtca, and adopt some of the guru's ideas along georaphical lines.

The biggest drawback is the council I think in all of this. If the MMVCA was for example to end and say merge with the VTCA the biggest problem will be the preparation of wickets or lack of. The clubs that play in the MMVCa for example would get to Craigieburn or Greenvale and think to themselves this is ok.

The MMVCA have played a rep game against Coburg over the years and apparently they got to the ground and were all smiles because the wicket was in their opinion a road. The guys from Coburg arrived and proceeded to take a vote on whether to play or not because the wicket they believed was unsafe

If they were to merge MMVCA and VTCA there would need to be some serious changes to the way the mmvca goes about wicket preparation but having said that there are some quality players going around in A turf who will feel very comfortable playing B1 and for that matter A1. very comfortable in fact.

Word doing the rounds is that the NWCA - MMVCA merger will go ahead.
The reality is a NWCA take over. They tried to manage turf some years ago and mucked it up.
Guru, if you have any influence at yours and other MMVCA Clubs I'd be telling them to head to the VTCA or be prepared to put up with the same teams being run by the Jack Boot brigade at the NWCA.

been told this afternoon Shanahan is taking over

some experience should be good for their club from him as leader

he's a good bloke and a hard competitor from memory of his district days

all the best to the club and Shannas in what is going to be a very hard time for them all trying to not be relegated

My Selections

KP easy
EK in a game that could decide who go's to NTHB.
Greenvale to strong for Abers
West to beat St Alb
Tulla to beat A.Heights, AH batting is not that strong. If Tulla can see of AH opening bowler they should win.
PD to win in a toss of a coin match
