Incredible day of cricket yesterday.

Just goes to show there will be a couple of unlucky clubs be relegated.

Rosebank, Bundoora seem the 2 likely.

Then either Epping or Macleod.

One dayers can throw up some interesting results. Will Creek play McLean and Campitelli again as its a 1 day game ? Both sides in a must win situation. Incredibly, Macleod can still play finals.....

interesting side note to the relegation dramas, the t20s final was postponed 4days out from the event, due to the weather forecast for sunday, yet on a 40 odd degree tuesday they were adamant that sides report to grounds

Spot on JC, dvca not covering themselves in glory once again. Heads should roll over such a dismal call by the association. Whatever happened to player & umpire safety. The umpires were lobbying 24 hours out to cancel the fixture & were shut down. Their own heat rule of 38* exists, which it got to early that afternoon. Where’s the accountability??it’s rules on the run for a poorly run competition.
 
Assuming BU take care of Rosebank, my guess is the loser of Riverside/Epping gets relegated as it only takes one of Macleod or Bundoora to win
 
With 1 round to go theres still so many possibilities that can happen this weekend. What a way to finish the season

Credit to diamond creek. Been my biggest surprise packet of the season so far. I dont think anyone would have had them top 4 at start of season.
One of Epping/Macleod/Riverside will go down.
If Epping go down i dont think its a quick bounce back given the current situation of the club with only 2 senior sides (2nds in G2) and the lack of juniors coming through the system. Could be a long few years for a once proud club.
If Riverside lose be interesting to see how they act on saturday. Spirit of cricket award anyone?

Still think its Rosanna's to lose though

On a side note, I heard from 2 separate sources that 2 current Barclay captains may be on the move depending on the outcome if this weekends results…. Doggies &

Will Epping as a senior club even exist if they go down? Heard on the grapevine Emmins would consider leaving. Would be a massive loss
 
I’m hearing Emmins is loyal as they come and will be signed/announced prior to next season

Grapevine is a funny thing JT, chrimes and Emmins are all a class act who wouldn’t sign elsewhere prior to season ending money shield or Barclay shield

Any else think the relegation is ridiculous
 
CookieMonster do you sniff glue in your spare time or something??? Relegation is necessary and has been known all year - plenty sooking now
