Didn’t hear that but did just catch 5 mins of the show this morning. Apparently DVCA have emailed their clubs about some NMCA clubs wanting to join and they’ve recommended to take only 2 but has to go to a vote.

Hard to see them troubling Northern Socials… amazing achievement to have the top 5 leading run scorers and 6 of the top 8 wicket takers in the Jack Kelly Shield this season.

6 team shield grades playing 5 x T20, 5 x OD and 5 x 2 day games? Will finals still be 2 day games? If so, 2 day games and probably 1 day games should be worth more points than T20 games. Would be silly having teams good at bash and crash T20 and one day games only to struggle in 80 over games.

Epping chased down 90 with 3 wickets and 4 overs remaining

3.22.1.2 on page 22… anyone who’s played a 2-day game in Jika, Quick or Kelly this season can’t play designated OD comp. https://northmetrocricket.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2023-2024-3-Rules-Senior-Playing-By-Laws.pdf

With the joke that is the bye in Jika Shield, it’s a bit rough to select a Jika Shield regular in your 2nds and rout the opposition.

NMCA finished on 16 Dec… DVCA finished on 23 Dec… both take 2 weeks off over Christmas/New Year NMCA has same break structure as Premier and Subbies DVCA back with Sat/Sun next week

What a joke of a season. Unbelievable to be moving teams between grades half way through the season. Every now and then as a club you have a character building season. Suck it up and work hard to get better.

Fixtures are up with Camrea in Jika

Current gradings one 2nd XI in Quick and four 2nd XIs in Kelly Both Lalor and Camrea gone?

Why weren’t the GFs over Sat/Sun?

How about the FB apology 😂
